[Nagiosplug-devel] Installation of NRPE and Plugins on IBM AIX

[David Peer]

Hi 				



compile the nrpe plugin with the disable-ssl option and from the
 linux server run all your checks with the -n option:

check_nrpe -H <your_R_host> -n



BR

BTW how did you managed to compile the plugins on AIX?

I fail very time.



Thanks
