http://itwarriors.com/?p=1

i have created file name check_test.pl in (/usr/local/nagios/libexec),

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case);
my ($host, $server, $instances);
my $result = GetOptions(
“H|host=s” => \$host,
“s|server=s” => \$server,
“i|instances=s” => \$instances,
);

print “Times Server found are $instances\n”;

and after getting this error,

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_test.pl -h 192.168.1.101 -s 192.168.1.110 -i 2
bash: ./check_test.pl: Permission denied

i try to add ,

# 'check_test' command definition

}

command in command.cfg

instead of that i am getting error permission denied please hekp for this error that what actually error is???

Thanks in advance

If you do an ls -l on the directory containing the script and take a look at the owner/permissions... the owner should be nagios (chown nagios:nagios <script>) and the script will need execute permissions (chmod +x <script>)

i am trying to execute "check_imap -H IP" but it is giving error permission refused i have given permission to it by using command " chmode +x <script>" but it still giving the same error when i do ls -l on the directory having plugins it results for check_imap,

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 19 10:16 check_imap -> check_tcp

how do i enable this pliugin to run and show result at the application UI ???

Hopes to listen from you soon !

Best Regards,

Is permission refused executing the script or permission refused by the target host? Can you post what you execute on the command line and the resulting output?
