Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
our security department installed a motd on one of their servers yesterday and it broke the check_by_ssh load check
is there a way to suppress the modt in the check_by_ssh command?
I tried the -S and that failed
I tried the .hushlogin on the server, and that failed (I've contacted other teams to see why RH7 does not like that)
is there any flag that i can use

Here is what the error looks like in verbose command line mode, and i can't figure out how to make it give more more info
[nagios@~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -vv -H 10.xx.xxx.22 -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -q -r -w 30,30,30 -c 50,50,50"
Command: /bin/ssh
Argument 1: 10.xx.xxx.22
Argument 2: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -q -r -w 30,30,30 -c 50,50,50
Remote command execution failed:

however, if i log onto the box and run the command as nagios it works just fine

[nagios@~]$ ssh xxxprdxxx01.xxxx.net

I believe you added the -q to the wrong location

Try
