Any guesses.
I assume this is being called as an event handler. It appears that it's taking longer than 10 seconds for the script that NRPE is calling to finish. Is that the case? If so, you'll probably want to adjust the value of event_handler_timeout in nagios config and include an appropriate -to argument to check_nrpe when making the call. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
