THat is the check_url



define command {

command_name check_url
command_line $USER1$/check_url.pl $ARG1$
}


define service {
use production-service
host_name AWSSRVPRDIIS01
service_description ESPDATA.ORG.AU
check_command check_url!http://www.espdata.org.au/index.asp
}

Ok, lets run the following and post the output

root@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# su nagios -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_url.pl http://www.espdata.org.au/index.asp; echo $?'

can you su nagios once you are root?
there should be no password on the nagios account unless you set one

You may want to try to change the shell for the nagios user

that worked


root@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# su nagios
nagios@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$

Still says password is bad, no password was entered
