I have tried all the suggestions but still a no go. I still get "offset=-105.293049s;60.000000;120.000000;" and "Offset -105.293049 secs" check_ntp is from the latest plugins version - 1.4.13. I have put the absolute path /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp instead of the $USER1$ variable. I have put "-w 0.2 -c 0.3" - no luck. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
