Good day! After looking around Nagios's exchange and various other website, I am resorted to writing my own plugins. I took the examples and have my shell script returning "OK - <some message here>". "OK" was picked up and reported in Nagios web interface. The color was green for my check. The message however wasn't. Am I missing some kind of flag to report "messages" in service or command.cfg? Another thing, I have in my possession Apress book on Nagios 2.0. How much is that out of date in the current 3.0 version? Thanks, David
