My thanks to bernardl for the repeated questions about what I was doing. The solution: write a wrapper which does a cd. # cat check_raid_dell_wrapper #!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/libexec/nagios perl check_raid_dell Then refer to the wrapper in the nrpe.cfg on the remote server: # grep dell /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg command[check_raid_dell]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_raid_dell_wra pper NOTE the use of the wrapper path Restart nrpe on the remote box and then test it on the server: $ ./check_nrpe -H app09 -c check_raid_dell RAID_DELL CRITICAL: RAID is critical. \o/ cheers -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference - http://www.pgcon.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
