UPS

[IvanAK]

Hi all

we uses EATON UPS and im trying to monitor via Nagios, and i have the following errors.
Can some one explain me what this is ?

root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ups_pow.pl -h
-bash: ./check_ups_pow.pl: /usr/local/groundwork/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory


root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ups.0.1.pl
-bash: ./check_ups.0.1.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ups_pow.pl -h
-bash: root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#: No such file or directory

It's looking for the perl interpreter (at /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/groundwork/bin/perl) but can't find it. This means you haven't got perl installed or for whatever reason it hasn't been installed in the required /bin directory(s)... you can solve this by either installing perl or copying the binary to the required directories.

Well according to this output "perl -v" i guess i have perl install

root@nagios:~# perl -v

This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 56 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

and you suggest to

or for whatever reason it hasn't been installed in the required /bin directory(s)... you can solve this by either installing perl or copying the binary to the required directories.

How can i find the binary and copy in other directory or other wise how to force or change the path and say that perl is in that directory ... i will love if i can skip copying binary to other directory i rather change the path

Lets find out where it is:

Code: Select all

which perl

[MPIvan]

Here it is ..

/usr/bin/perl

[lmiltchev]

Open the plugin in vi, type ":set ff?", press "Enter", and check the output. If it's not showing "fileformat=unix", type ":set ff=unix", and hit "Enter". Check the format again by typing ":set ff?" and hitting "Enter". If it is "unix", save and exit (":wq, Enter").

Hope this helps.

I dont understand you well

Im using Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS. Should i put somewhere :set ff? in the script file or just open with vi and type that. Also i dont know what to do with this ....

If it's not showing "fileformat=unix", type ":set ff=unix", and hit "Enter". Check the format again by typing ":set ff?" and hitting "Enter". If it is "unix", save and exit (":wq, Enter").

[sreinhardt]

Open the plugin in vim
type :set ff?
press "Enter" and check the output.

If it's not showing "fileformat=unix" on the lower right side,

type :set ff=unix
hit "Enter".
Check the format again by typing ":set ff?" and hitting "Enter".
If it is "unix", save and exit (":wq, Enter").

You are doing these steps because the ^M in the first post indicates that this is windows or dos line endings when it needs to be unix.

[MPIvan]

Hi sreinhardt,

tnx for the explanation here is what iv done for now ...

root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ups_pow.pl -h
-bash: ./check_ups_pow.pl: /usr/local/groundwork/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# vim check_ups_pow.pl
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ups_pow.pl -h
-bash: ./check_ups_pow.pl: /usr/local/groundwork/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#

the output of error is the same but now there is no ^M.

[abrist]

Try:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/perl ./check_ups_pow.pl -h
