Plugin does not email me

[srikanth.kallu]

Hi,

Here is my plugin to give errors on aix server. It works when i run it from Nagios Shell, but it does not send me the email alert

#!/bin/bash
# script that checks for new errpt
#
errptlast=/tmp/errptlast

#
# check if first run
if [ ! -f $errptlast ] ; then
# first run generate a timestamp - 1 hour to fake last run
phour=$((`date +%H` - 2))
date +%m%d$phour%M%y > $errptlast
fi
lastts=`cat $errptlast`

countcrit=`errpt -T PERM -k A924A5FC -D -s "$lastts" | egrep -v '^IDENTIFIER' | sed
-n 's!.* \(P\) .*!\1!p' | wc -l`

#exit2=$?
countcrit=`echo $countcrit`

if [ "$countcrit" -ge 1 ] ; then

date +%m%d%H%M%y > $errptlast
errpt -k A924A5FC -A -D -T PERM -s "$lastts" | egrep -v '^IDENTIFIER'
echo "$countcrit critical errors on `hostname` since $lastts"
exit 2
else
echo "No new critical Error Reports since $lastts"
exit 0
fi
echo "Errpt Check failed"
exit 3

Statetype shows hard

When i run this from nagios server shell it gives me this

[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 10.0.6.2 -c errors

You should run over the development guidelines as you plugin is not outputting correctly. The first line outputs "------------..." where that should be a status string , a pipe, and then perfdata. You can still keep the extra output on the following lines. Looking at the exit codes:

Code: Select all

echo "$countcrit critical errors on `hostname` since $lastts"
exit 2
else
echo "No new critical Error Reports since $lastts"
exit 0
fi
echo "Errpt Check failed"
exit 3

Do you ever exit on "1"? You are not receiving any of the exit errors, which means you are either exiting on "2" or on the nebulous "1".
