What does your line in your sudoers file look like? Here is my line so that nagios can run the check_megaraid_sas nagios script I have to check our PERC 5/i card: nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_sas Did you make sure to edit the sudoers file using visudo and not normal vi, emacs or something else? My guess, without looking in detail at the scripts, is that the check_raid script requires some extra permissions that the check_afacli script doesn't. Hopefully some of this might help. Preston
