"/home/jesterj/" is probably chowned to 700 anyway so the NRPE daemon won't be able to access and execute it anyway. Try running it manually with sudo to see the actual result: sudo -u nagios /usr/local/bin/python /home/jesterj/report_loadscript_error_log.py Also, you should copy your script in a more appropriate location such as /usr/local/bin or even /usr/lib/nagios/plugins if you have installed Nagios on a Debian or Ubuntu server. You can also try to start NRPE with "debug=1": "How to go about debugging other problems... When debugging problems it may be useful to edit the NRPE configuration file and change the debug=0 entry to debug=1. Once you do that, restart the NRPE daemon if it is running as a standalone daemon. After you try using the check_nrpe plugin again, you should be able to see some debugging information in the log files of the remote host. Check your logs carefully – they should be able to help provide clues as to where the problem lies..."
