If I understand what you're asking about, I've used this to achieve it
in the past:

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Steve. And now I've found the problem,
too. I'll document here so that others may learn from my goofiness.
So, running the check by hand:

/etc/nagios/nagios_private/id_rsa -l cacti -n lh -s c1 -C

Also you probably want to make sure you run the command as the nagios
user, or whatever the user is that the service runs as, to make sure you
are getting the right environment and permissions.

Yes, run the actual command from the command line as Steve demonstrated.
Make sure which command is being used, and if you run the command with
no parameters it will display the correct usage.

Mark,
I think Salvatore means run the check manually from the command line , make
sure you run it as the nagios user and try setting tha warning & critical
values to something that will make it fail also:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec > ./check_disk -w 50 -c 70 -p /home
DISK OK - free space: /home

That's kind of funny...
Why are you compiling nagios on a package based distro with existing and
current _properly_ built
packages?
Look
Couple questions
1) Why do you have to reboot your monitoring server weekly?
2) How is the reboot being done?
Reason I ask 2) is because the standard rc script will remove the
lockfile when nagios is told to stop. So if you are having this problem
is sounds like you are not doing a clean shutdow
Hi Salvatore,
They're all Unix (Redhat) servers. By check command do you mean nagios -v?
I've done that and I do not get an errors.

Gee, this seems like an annoying newbie problem, but if Nagios crashes or is
killed (as on system reboot), it leaves a lock file around that prevents it
from starting again until the lock file is manually removed.
I see this on Monday mornings after weekend reboots on a Red Hat Linux box:

Hi,
I have a small-ish number of servers and I've tried to configure Nagios to
warn me about disk-space running low. The problem is that, although disk
space is above both warning and critical levels I'm not getting any
notifications.
The nagios.log file is silent on the topic and nagios -v does

Hi,
I've installed Nagios 3 on a Debian box, and it seem that for some

Did you've got some informations ?
