Thank you Natxo, I believe I am using the client to run it locally but sending the execution instructions from the OpsView machine (If I understand that correctly). The file directory is local to the machine that has the client installed but the problem is I can't seem to get the backslash to translate. Forward slashes go through just fine but of course it can't find that path, any backslashes I include (double backslashes as well) are simply pulled out of the string concatenating everything together. I've located several documents similar to the one you directed me to but they all reference another linux box and the forward slash. I may be completely misunderstanding how this all works and will attempt to tear into the document you sent me at length to see if it sparks anything.

Your assistance, as always, is greastly > appreciated. I guess you mean this check_file: http://itefix.no/i2/check_file Why don't you run the check locally with nrpe? Then you do no need to worry about unc paths. You can use the nsclientpp ( also called nsclient++ ) client to run nrpe checks -- natxo _______________________________________________ Opsview-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opsview.org/lists/listinfo/opsview-users _______________________________________________ Opsview-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opsview.org/lists/listinfo/opsview-users
