$ grep "use lib" check_* check_breeze:use lib "nagios" ; check_disk_smb:use lib "nagios" ; check_file_age:use lib "nagios"; check_flexlm:use lib "nagios"; check_ifoperstatus:use lib "nagios" ; check_ifstatus:use lib "nagios" ; check_ircd:use lib "nagios"; check_mailq:use lib "nagios"; check_rpc:use lib "nagios"; check_wave:use lib "nagios"; Yep... How unfortunate that the one I chose to base my plugin on is check_file_age, which does not have this. -- 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.
