There is no file /etc/oratab. OS is HPUX 11iV3 i defined the ORACLE_HOME is NRPE user's profile, so its working in local server not in nagios server..I couldnt find where is the issue.
Have you tried using check_oracle_health? It is a highly supported plugin alternative to the depreciated one you are running with, if this is not an option that's fine:
We always recommend you make sure a command runs from the command line before adding it to a configuration. You also need to go through the document I linked above before attempting to connect to your oracle server, it was designed for XI but the same rules apply. The command I linked was not complete, you still need to define the address to connect to, etc, this should all be covered in the document. But we can help you once you have questions regarding it. "excluding the wizard portion of course."
For the check_oracle command above, please let us know what it returns from the command line, with any additional information you have filled in from your end.
