> I ran ./check-httpd as root and when I typed that in - nothing happened. This really speaks of such a basic misunderstanding of how nagios interacts with plugins that I'd suggest re-reading the documentation, specifically the object configuration documentation and plugin theory. Use the sample config files as a reference until you understand how they're related to what's in the documentation. Finally, testing nagios functions as the root user will not reliably provide the same results as when run from nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
