[Nagiosplug-help] Check_proc on Solaris 9 through NRPE

[McGarry, Ryan]

I have compiled the 1.4.7 version of check_procs program on Solaris 9
with --with-ps_command="/usr/ucb/ps -auxw".  This seems to get it to
correctly identify processes identified by long commands, like "ns-slapd
-D /opt/... -I /opt/...".

I have two Sparc Solaris 9 systems, one is the Nagios Server, and the
other one reports via NRPE.

The Nagios Server runs check_procs correctly.  

The second system has NRPE running on it, and returns check_disk,
check_load and check_users results to Nagios without any problems.
However, check_procs returns "NRPE: Unable to read output".  Check_procs
runs fine when run by the command prompt.

Permissions on /home/nagios, and /home/nagios/libexec are all 755.  All
check_ scripts have the same permissions of 755.

Check_procs is the only check script that returns this error.    

NRPE is running as an inetd process...

I am stumped.  Any ideas?
