From the nagios machine...but it might be useful to run it on both. Please put the output in a code block. The "Code" button is the fifth from the left on the post input screen (between Quote and List).

Do you mean once every hour at the 6 minute mark? That is not something you can do from nagios directly. You would need to run this from cron.

If you are saying you want a check interval of 66 minutes, we should be able to do that.

Currently, you check interval is set to every 5 minutes, so it seems like one of us is way off. Can you help explain a little more what you are trying to do?

Thanks for the responce.

The requirement of the script is to check for a particular file in a location and if file is found then script will thorw exost code as file and delet the file,this file will be auto generated every 1 hours 5 minutes,so the check needs to be run at ie the timing timing mentioned in the time period 00.06-00.07,01.06-01.07,02.06-02.07 etc,check interval was mentioned by me for 5 minutes if file is not found then it should check for next minutes also and report notification as file not found.

Ok, I think I understand now. You are probably going to need to change your check interval to be 1 rather than 5 to get desired results. Given the way scheduling works, I'm not sure that's going to be enough, but it really depends on how many other checks you are running. Changing the check interval to 1 should *help* at the very least.
