Subject: [Nagios-users] ping hanging.

/Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/check_ping -H 4400::34

-w

3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1 -t 10 -6" resulted in a return code of

127.

Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually
exists...

over and over.

this is particularly confusiong as i never reran configure nor did I

ever

uninstall the /check_ping programme it is still in place and

executable.

Hmm. I *really* hope you never installed the plugins in your root directory.

Any ideas?



Return code 127 means that the plugin was not found in the location
specified in the command definition. Nagios is apparently trying to
execute /check_ping and not /path/to/check_ping (usually
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping). There are four primary
possibilities --
        1) your command definition does not utilize the $USER1$ macro in
the command_line i.e. 'command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H ...'
        2) you have manually specified the incorrect path in the
command_line i.e. 'command line  /check_ping -H ...'
        3) $USER1$ is not set to the correct plugins path in
resource.cfg
        4) you have not included resource.cfg as a resource_file in
nagios.cfg

One other possibility I encountered:
When the resource.cfg file is not readable by nagios, the above happens after nagios reloaded its configuration. The initial configuration file access happens before nagios drops its rights (when started as root), but afterwards, during operation, it's simply no longer permitted to read the resource.cfg... he easy work-around is a chown on the file followed by another configuration reload.
