<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [Nagiosplug-devel] loading environment variables to nagios</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> The easiest solution would be to have your nagios user load the profile of your Oracle user. On my system, both the oracle and nagios user have bash for their shell, so I copy oracle’s .bashrc to nagios’ home dir. If you are executing your commands via nrpe, you need to precede each of your oracle plugin commands with . ~nagios/.bashrc; in order for all those Oracle related environment variables to be properly set. Also, you might need to add the nagios user to whatever group your oracle user account is in in order for the nagios user to be able to read Oracle’s logs and files.
