Right?
Not at all. It just means that root can run a program successfully when called directly. The question you should be asking is does the command{} definition for this plugin use that full path? The default configs typically use the $USER1$ macro for the path which must be properly set in resource.cfg. Is $USER1$ pointing to the correct path? Is resource.cfg being loaded by nagios? Also, as pointed out previously, the plugins are never run as the root user, always the nagios user. While it's not likely in this case, the nagios user certainly isn't guaranteed the same access privileges as the root user. You should always perform plugin tests as the nagios user. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
