I have defined on the remote machine's nrpe_local.cfg: command[check_foo]=/usr/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c 1:1 -C foo Running a similar command locally on that machine works fine: $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c 1:1 -C foo PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'foo' But when I try to run the command from the Nagios server, I get the following result: $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c check_foo NRPE: Unable to read output Whereas other monitored services work fine: $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c check_procs PROCS OK: 97 processes </div></blockquote><div> Just to be certain, did you restart the nrpe daemon on remote.host after modifying its nrpe.cfg file? </div></div> -- Mike Saldivar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev</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> <div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup"></div><style type="text/css">#avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;}</style> <DIV> Xchanging Transaction Bank GmbH - HRB 58 951 - Sitz Frankfurt - Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Andreas Povel - Geschaeftsfuehrer: Richard Breitenbuecher, Matthias Sohler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Diese E-Mail enthaelt vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschuetzte Informationen.
