nrpe arguments

[bobapple]

Hello,

i have a problem on committing arguments to nrpe.

what i am trying to do:

on the shell i execute this::

Code: Select all

libexec/check_nrpe -H my.host.com -c check_cert_proc -a 1: 1:10 'postfix/master' -u root

on the remote host this is configured (nrpe.cnf):

Code: Select all

command[check_cert_proc]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -a $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$

but the "-u" argument is being placed wrong, i get this output (debug on the remote host):

Code: Select all

Host is asking for command 'check_cert_proc' to be run...
Aug 30 09:59:27 src@kevin nrpe[10436]: Running command: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 1: -c -u -a 1:10 postfix/master root

but if i change the order and put the "-u root" to the front, it works:

Code: Select all

command[check_cert_proc]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -a $ARG5$

i have tried setting " and ' in the nrpe.cnf and on the shell, but it didn't work

thank you in advance
