[Nagiosplug-devel] How to run a shell script in nagios repeatedly

[Brian A. Seklecki]

It sounds like you need a tutorial on Nagios.  I recommend any of the 
books on the market.

You understand that nagios will only help you here (over cron) if your 
shell script returns variable return codes based on success?  Check the 
Nagios plugin reference API.

You can set up a check for localhost that runs a custom shell scipt 
command.  check_freshnes=1 and is_volatile=1 for sure.  normal check 
interval as low as you want.
