Most likely there's a syntax error in your configuration somewhere. Running the config validation ('nagios -v pathtomainconfigfile') should give you more information. -- Tony Yarusso Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: tyaru...@nagios.com Web:www.nagios.com ---

Hi Jim, Thanks for your reply. You're right, I am going to start fresh and this time will install it from the source. I did a rpm -e nagios and it removed the package but when I do a find / -name nagios, it finds the followings: /etc/nagios /var/log/nagios /var/nagios /home/username/

I've got NSClient++ installed on a number of Windows XP and W2K servers reporting on such things as disk utilization, memory, load. This all works fine. I'd like to take it to the next level defining my own external scripts. But the examples all show using the command, check_nrpe on the linux/nagio
