Anyhow, using '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tcp -p 22 -H $host' works. But be gentle with this command, as it tries to connect to a TCP port, but then stops any communication. So if you use it for eg MySQL, you will end up with endless counts of open connections and be locked out of your MySQL (been there, not funny). But for SSH, that problem does not occur. -- Toni Van Remortel Linux System Engineer @ Precision Operations NV +32 3 452 92 26 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
