Thank you so much... Trying it now.
One thing though, in the command_line portion I called it as check_procs because I'm still using the same check file (check_procs) as before I'm just using different options on it than is currently defined under the actual check_local_procs one.
But thanks again... Will hopefully let you know soon if it works.

Oh wait... Never mind. I see what you did. In the command_line it still is check_procs. But once that's done the command always needs to be called as check_user_procs. Sorry

I'm now getting this...
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages.
/var/log/messages on remote host contained this.

which kind of confuses me because I have dont_blame_nrpe set to 1.
However, it is a different error message than before.

Could it be because the only command I have setup as check_user_procs is with nrpe? Do I need to setup a command for check_user_procs that does NOT have the NRPE part in there? Or is that not needed.

Did you restart nrpe after making that change? (run all of these commands on the remote host)
Are you loading a different config file?
is there more than one config?

GOT IT!!!! NRPE wasn't compiled with --enable-command-args
Thank you so much for your help though. i honestly wouldn't have gotten it without your help.
My issue is definitely resolved now. Thanks again...
