I should be sorry for bothering people.
Sometimes quick fixes don't exist and sometimes they hide themselves very well.
I already have a lot of splinters under my finger nails from scratching my head.
Anyway, I guess I have to leave for home anyway.
Back as a hawk tomorrow.

Some additional info (if it's of any use):
Added these to nrpe.cfg:
Code: Select all
command[whoami]=whoami
command[getenv]=env
Running them locally gave:
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute nagios]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H localhost -c whoami
nrpe
[root@elukancompute nagios]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H localhost -c getenv

This is beginning to sound as though the nrpe user on localhost is unable to execute the check_omat script. Can you paste the output of:
And would it be possible to actually see the check_omat script?

# ls -la /etc/nagios/check_omat
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 178 Jul 25 22:03 /etc/nagios/check_omat
The script was there in the first posting, but here:
Code: Select all
# cat /etc/nagios/check_omat
#!/bin/sh
#if [ ! -e /etc/nagios/outfile.txt ]
#then
#touch /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
#fi
echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 > /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
echo SERVICE STATUS: OK
exit 0
Oh, and:
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute nagios]# /etc/nagios/check_omat 10 5;echo $?
SERVICE STATUS: OK
0
The funny thing is:
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute ~]# su -c "/etc/nagios/check_omat 20% 10% 2>/dev/null" nrpe
SERVICE STATUS: OK
[root@elukancompute ~]# su -c "/etc/nagios/check_omat 20% 10% 1>/dev/null" nrpe
[root@elukancompute ~]#
Code: Select all

Please remove the "2>/dev/null" from your commands. Try this:
Code: Select all
su -c "/etc/nagios/check_omat this is a test" nrpe

That '2>/dev/null' was there only to make sure the output came from stdout and not stderr.
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute nagios]# su -c "/etc/nagios/check_omat this is a test" nrpe
SERVICE STATUS: OK
As you see, the variables were not used for output (except to be written in a file)
The string "SERVICE STATUS: OK" is always returned.
Maybe you wanted to see this?
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute nagios]# cat /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
this is a test
BUT:
Code: Select all
[root@elukancompute nagios]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_omat -a "AARGHH"
NRPE: Unable to read output
[root@elukancompute nagios]# cat /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
this is a test
So it is not run - not even as root.

No, I wanted to see if any messages were being written to STDERR, which is what you were redirecting with the 2>/dev/null statement
For fun, move the check_omat script to the same directory as all the other plugins. I can't see that this would make a difference, but I'm almost out of ideas.

Actually, I tried that with no change. Maybe if I changed the path in the config too...

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart nrpe.service
Now this is getting very weird:

SERVICE STATUS: OK - Sun Jul 27 08:59:46 EEST 2014

if [ ! -e /etc/nagios/outfile.txt ]
then
touch /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
fi
echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 >> /etc/nagios/outfile.txt
echo "SERVICE STATUS: OK - `date`"
exit 0
Now I have to get home (and shops). It's almost 18:30 local time.
Have to continue on Monday.
Don't think about this too hard. Instead, have a nice weekend.

This doesn't seem right (the two forward slashes)...

It shouldn't matter but it's worth checking out.
