Yes, it's clear what's going on now... Your testurl contains an '&', doesn't it? This causes the part of the command before the & to be executed as a detached process in the background and the rest is likely just creating shell variable=value environment variables. It's this latter successful variable assignment that's exiting with status code 0. The success or failure of the first part is irrelevant. A simple example is below -- $ echo something1=something&something2=somethingelse [1] 22997 Something1=something [1]+ Done echo something1=something $ echo $? 0 $ echo $something2 somethingelse Using the -v argument to check_http you can see the difference in the GET requests as well. It has a simple solution though: enclose the <testurl> in quotes in your command definition. If you were testing on the command line you'd use -- ./check_http -e OK -H <virtualhost> -I app10 -u "<testurl>" -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
