Hello everyone,



I was surprised to read this phrase in the nagios documentation about
embedded perl :



"Without the embedded Perl interpreter, Nagios executes Perl (and non-Perl)
plugins by forking and executing the plugins as an external command. When
the embedded Perl interpreter is used, Nagios can execute Perl plugins by
simply making a library call. >

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... hecks.html



If I had read correctly the code in base/checks.c, Nagios compile the plugin
code using EPN, then fork and execute the previously compiled script.

Otherwise I guess a perl script with an infinity loop would make Nagios
stucks.



Am I wrong?
