Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash



S1="active"


Info=$(systemctl status $1 | awk 'NR==3' | awk '{print $2}')



if [ $Info == $S1 ]

then

        echo "yay" $1 "is running!"

        exit 0

else
        echo "boooo" $1 "is not running!"

        exit 3

Ok. That did the trick. The only thing is if the service is down Nagios recognizes it as "Unknown/Amber" and not "Critical/Red". But yea I think that's good enough for now! Lets leave this thread open in-case anyone else has any suggestions or insights. Thanks so much for the help!

Have it exit with 2 instead of 3. Oops.

0 = Good
1 = Warning
2 = Critical
3 = Unknown

Yep. Awesome man thanks again! We can close this out.

Glad to see this worked out! I will now close this thread, but feel free to open another in the future if you need more assistance.
