Re: NRPE response not found
I should be sorry for bothering people.
Sometimes quick fixes don't exist and sometimes they hide themselves very well.
I already have a lot of splinters under my finger nails from scratching my head.
Anyway, I guess I have to leave for home anyway.
Back as a hawk tomorrow.

Some additional info (if it's of any use):

Re: NRPE response not found
This is beginning to sound as though the nrpe user on localhost is unable to execute the check_omat script. Can you paste the output of:
And would it be possible to actually see the check_omat script?
Code: Select all
ls -la /etc/nagios/check_omat

Re: NRPE response not found
Please remove the "2>/dev/null" from your commands. Try this:
Code: Select all
su -c "/etc/nagios/check_omat this is a test" nrpe

Re: NRPE response not found
That '2>/dev/null' was there only to make sure the output came from stdout and not stderr.
As you see, the variables were not used for output (except to be written in a file)
The string "SERVICE STATUS: OK" is always returned.
Maybe you wanted to see this?
BUT:
So it is not run - not even as root.

Re: NRPE response not found
No, I wanted to see if any messages were being written to STDERR, which is what you were redirecting with the 2>/dev/null statement
For fun, move the check_omat script to the same directory as all the other plugins. I can't see that this would make a difference, but I'm almost out of ideas.

Re: NRPE response not found
Actually, I tried that with no change. Maybe if I changed the path in the config too...

Re: NRPE response not found
This doesn't seem right (the two forward slashes)...command[check_omat]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins//check_omat $ARG1$ $ARG2$
