As Patrick said, this plugin (as a host check) will only get run if a service goes into a non-OK state, therefore showing old information until it a service fails. I have exactly the same plugin (written myself with a couple of differences to yours) which runs as a service called Uptime on

Actually the problem with the ping is that we are giving dynamic IP address so when the ip address changes its difficult to know who is responding to the ping. And so we moved to ssh and uptime... Sujith Bangalore. On 2/28/07, sujith h [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Andy, Actually my problem

I think you need to explain what you're trying to do overall, as this isn't making any sense to me! You cannot possibly determine which server is responding using it's uptime output. A more sensible option surely would be it's hostname? #!/bin/bash hostname exit 0 However you're going to

Again, as I and Patrick have said, your host's check_command is only getting run when a service is deemed to have problems. You're getting the difference in the uptime output in Nagios and the console because Nagios hasn't run the uptime command for the host for over a day. If you're not

You can do it by setting scheduled host checks, but it's very performance-intensive, and *will* affect your service checks. Your uptime check will do what you want much better if you add it as a service to your host. Why are you so insistent you don't want to use check_ping as your host

Now when I start the nagios it will work fine. But after some one or 2 days it will start to give me wrong output. What output does it give you? What output does it give if you login as nagios and run it by hand? See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/plugins.html#howto
