Hi there -- When I manually run check_nrpe -H <host> -n -c check_total_procs on the Nagios server, I get the System call sent warnings to stderr message. This is also true when I ran the above command with check_zombie_procs.
I then went to the client system, and ran the check_procs command as the nagios user with the following syntax for checking zombie processes: ./check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z The response I got was the following: System call sent warnings to stderr I ran the check_procs command again as the nagios users to check the total amount of processes: ./check_procs -w 150 -c 200 The response this time was the following: System call sent warnings to stderr PROCS WARNING: 77 processes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Powell Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 4:58 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] System call sent warnings to stderr message > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaplan, Andrew H. > Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 3:44 PM > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] System call sent warnings to stderr message > > Hi there - > > [chop] > > The error message that I am getting for both services is the following: > > > > System call sent warnings to stderr message > > > > What changes should I make to correct this? Thanks. What's the error that you see when you run check_nrpe as the nagios user on your nagios machine? If you see only the error above there, what is the error that you see when you run check_procs as the nrpe user on your destination machine? One or the other is sending error messages to stderr that nagios doesn't capture. I would guess that there's a problem running check_procs on the destination host. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
