Nagios plugins

[sherrera1]

Hello,

Is it possible to run a nagios plugin outside of nagios? For example, check_ping, how can i run this; if so what would my syntax look like?

/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_ping ????

Thanks for the help

From a command line - yes.
To get the syntax, append the -h switch. Example
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -h

Thank you. That worked.
