OK, so it sounds like you want to be able to have Nagios temporarily stop managing the service check scheduling for this service, long enough for you to inject some bogus results. Seems like rescheduling the next active check (SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK) would do the right thing as far as pushing the next scheduled check into the future. Or maybe you want to disable active checks for the service (DISABLE_SVC_CHECK), run your simulation, and then re-enable them...? -tt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
