The script takes a file on the local Nagios box, puts it on our FTP server via a login and folder setup just for this, and then gets the same file it just put on the server. There's some other logic in the script that writes a date and time to the file, and then at the end checks to make sure the da...

So I figured out the problem. The file that the scripts pulls back via FTP is owned by root and everyone else has crap for permissions. For some reason chmod is not working though. The file is located in the root directory, and when I try

First of all, I want to thank you guys for being so helpful. Every question I've had has been answered or responded to. I recently tweaked my notification settings in order to make notifications for critical events send out faster. I feel like I may have messed up something though, because I no long...

Thank you
