I think I'll go with the suggestion about doing the check_procs with --metric=CPU option, as that will check any process that uses too much CPU. Thanks to all for the suggestions and assistance.

Thanks for the information. The reason I was trying to monitor the number of nrpe processes was that, occasionally, the nrpe processes on some of my AIX hosts don't seem to complete. When I do a "top" or "topas" the processes are taking up the majority of the CPU. Killing the mul...

Hmm.. It looks like my posting from yesterday didn't get here. Here's the results of my ps on the nagios server: [joed@vx8 ~]$ ps -aef | grep nrpe nagios 28205 28204 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00 usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 64.54.134.47 -c check_disk -a c: 4% 2% nagios 28208 28207 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00...

Thanks. I appreciate the information and your patience with me. I've gone back to trying things with check_procs. In my nrpe.cfg on the remote host, I created command[check_4nrped2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -c "$ARG1$" -C "$ARG2$" -a "$ARG3$" In checkcomman...

Hi, I appreciate all the help. However, I'm still having some issues, now with the count of nrpe daemons when I run the command on the remote host and when I run it on the nagios server. To simplify things for myself, I created a simple ksh script on the remote host called check_4nrped and placed it...

Greetings, We have had an issue where we occasionally get multiple nrpe daemons running on an AIX client. I want to only have a single daemon running. On the AIX client, I have the following in the nrpe.cfg: command[check_local_procs_range]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ F...
