Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have a local script on our Nagios XI server to delete decommissioned services/hosts automatically. The script calls /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nagiosql_delete_service.php and /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nagiosql_delete_host.php. It works well when I run it as root, however it gives me the following errors when I run it as user 'nagios':

CMDLINE:
/usr/bin/wget --load-cookies=nagiosql.cookies http://localhost/nagiosql/admin/services.php --no-check-certificate --post-data 'chbId_299=on&selModify=delete&hidModify&modus=checkform' -O nagiosql.delete.service
nagiosql.delete.service: Permission denied

I need to call these nagiosql scripts as user 'nagios' for multiple reasons (e.g. security), so is there a way to allow that?

Thanks,
Steven

Normally these should be owned by the nagios user. Lets run

Yep, that resolved the issue. Not sure why those files were owned by root in the first place..

Thanks a lot!

Great! Nice to see a quick fix. I'll be closing this thread now, but feel free to open another if you need anything in the future!
