Nagios Support Forum

Evening all

I have configured some nrpe checks on a couple of our remote centos servers using the nrds configuration manager, this has been working grand and as expected.

However we have recently noticed that it has created a sendmail mailbox on the remote machines that just seems to grow and grow.

Firstly why does it need to save messages to the local machine? If it doesn't how can I turn this setting off?

Any help would be mostly appreciated, thanks in advance.

out of curiosity, can you post the output of this from one of the machines with this condition If it doesn't have something like this on the end you can add it to suppress the cron emails

Hi Scott

Thanks for the reply

I just have the following at the end: 2>&1

Message in entirety:

*/1 * * * * /usr/local/nrdp/clients/nrds/nrds.pl -H sip5 2>&1

Will change to your suggestion.

Thanks again

Great, let us know how it works out for you!
