Re: [Nagios-users] running a perl script.
Hello, Another way, you could use "dos2unix /filename/" command. It will clean non-printable characters. Regards.

It is a windows carriage return. Open up a shell and try to see if you can find dos2unix which dos2unix If it finds dos2unix then run it as follows to convert the ^M to the unix equivalent dos2unix filename After you've rid the file of the ^M you should be ok to run it. Now you should open your kwrite preferences and find out why it's using ^M for Carriage Returns. From the sounds of it, if you are going to use kwrite for writing unix scripts you will always encounter this problem unless you either correct kwrite preferences (assuming it's configurable), or start using a different editor.

It's telling you it can't find the program /usr/bin/perl^M. That's different than /usr/bin/perl. Did you open this file on a Windows box and save it again? In wordpad perhaps? It has Windows specific formatting in it that's breaking the script. I'm going to bet that every line of the script ends in ^M. You'll need to remove them, either manually or using a vi search/replace like ':%s/[CTRL-V][CTRL-M]//'. -- Marc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] running a perl script.
Nagios 2.7 running on OpenSUSE 10.2 Perl ver 5.8.8 I have the system up and running using the standard check plugins. I downloaded some perl scripts from nagioexchange but don't seem to know how to use them. I copied them into the libexec directory, changed the user group, made them exe. When I try to run them from the command line I get the error, Nagios1:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./check_gwia.pl -h -bash: ./check_gwia.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Is it telling me it can't find perl? Nagios1:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ls -l /usr/bin/perl -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1163988 Nov 25 05:43 /usr/bin/perl Do I need to do something else to these scripts? Can someone point me to some docs if its a complex problem, I will RTFM if I can find one. Thanks for any help.
