However, it's up to you, the switches allow you run it ei

there for updates then, is there any official repo for that, or only 3rd

agios configuration is probably wrong, double check your
checkcommands.cfg and your services.cfg where you are calling the command.
If you are specifying in services.cfg
checkcommand check_http!-p 100080
then you will need the command to have an $ARG1$ variable af
gios remote execution methods to have the plugin run on
a linux box and feed the result to the Nagios server on FreeBSD.
NRPE, NSCA or check_by_ssh are the first things to look at.
This way nagios stays on the FreeBSD server
s root and nrpe is
running it as a regular user that may not have permission to write that
location
Either that or your nrpe.cfg is wrong.
