Can you run the plugin successfully on the remote host as the user nagios is running it as and see the correct exit code (echo $?). Can you run the transport/plugin command combo from the nagios server as the nagios user and see the correct exit code? I strongly suspect one or the other is actually generating an error. You'll increase your chances of better answers by including the relevant config information (host, service, command definitions and information about how you've configured your transport). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H</a> _______________________________________________ Nagiosplug-help mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagiosplug-help" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagiosplug-help</a> ::: Please include plugins version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </blockquote></div>
