(This is the benefit of embedding Perl: there is no need to recompile plugins [that typically don't change] each time they are run. There is also no need to fork a new process and exec Perl. The tradeoff is more memory and hard to understand behaviour such as this). The Perl plugin was compiled when 1 Nagios schedules the plugin for the first time. 2 The plugin text changes (the modification time is checked each time the plugin is scheduled). What you have seen is that the ePN doesn't recompile the plugin after you relocated utils.pm. Your options are 1 Restart Nagios - there's no way to restart the embedded Perl component independently of Nagios 2 Make a trivail modification to the plugin text eg 2.1 add a use lib qw(/path/to/utils.pm) ; 2.2 add a no-op (No-op, No-op the CPUs sang) such as a comment or a 1 == 1; 2.3 I can't remember if touching the text works. If it does this is the best way. >Thanks, > >Chad=20 > Yours sincerely. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
