I have tried this but I get a usage error: Usage: check_rpc -H host -C rpc_command [-p port] [-c program_version] [-u|-t] [-v] check_rpc [-h | --help] check_rpc [-V | --version] Perhaps I'll try replacing the plugin, but by my logic that should not make a difference. -Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
