[Nagiosplug-help] event handler not running

[Mike Loud]

Benny, I want to thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I kept 
investigating after I sent the email, and I found the stupid little switch 
that was causing it to not work. I looked at the messages log on the remote, 
saw the could not complete ssl handshake error, and went back to my command 
definition. Sure enough, the -n was in it trying to bypass ssl.... took that 
out and bam, executes the script. It doesn’t appear to be carrying over the 
variables like it should be but I am sure that is a quick fix or something I 
can get. Thank you again for your quick help with this.



Mike

Please refresh my memory - how is this eventhandler supposed to be
executed on the remote host?

You say "on the remote machine if I su - nagios and run the script"
it works...  But how is Nagios supposed to execute it on the remote
host?  Via ssh?  NRPE?

If you attempt to do it exactly how *Nagios* is configured to try,
what happens?

Benny
