It looks like some of that output is from the line sudo /<Path to cmd>/watchqueue 1 at the top. Try changing that to sudo /<Path to cmd>/watchqueue 1 &>/dev/null and see how that works.

If that works, try changing the sed command back and try it again.

Ok, it sounds like we're making progress.

Those junk characters look like terminal control sequences (move cursor, set colors, etc.).

Try replacing this part: /bin/sed 's/(//g' with this: /bin/sed 's/\x1b[\[(0-9a-zA-Z;]*//g and see if that gets rid of the garbage.

In your source for check_by_ssh.c where it checks for -z, change it to use -tt instead of -t and see if that makes any difference.

The nrpe process on the remote does not even try to allocate a tty and is probably unable to do so. I can check into that further. But right now it looks like the only option is to use check_by_ssh.

Is there some reason why you want to use nrpe instead of check_by_ssh?

nrpe and check_nrpe log to syslog, so check those.

Additionally, you might want to turn on SSL messages. Set ssl_logging=-1 in nrpe.cfg and use the -s 0xff switch on check_nrpe.

Off-hand, I would say it's a permission problem. Make sure the output is going into a folder that the nagios user has write access to.
