Code: Select all

command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs $ARG1$

Thanks works now!

If I was to change this and use check_service, would I be going down the writing or finding a plugin route? Everything I've seen with check_service mentions plugins.

that would be correct. Additionally you often have to add sudoers permissions to the plugin for checking services.
