Hi Andy, Thanks for the email. I wish this would have worked! Here's what i did...
-I added the sudo command in my nrpe.cfg file and ran it like you said. command[loadscript_check_error_log]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/python /home/jesterj/report_loadscript_error_log.py -Restarted the nrpe service. $ /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server restart * Stopping nagios-nrpe nagios-nrpe [ OK ] * Starting nagios-nrpe nagios-nrpe - Reran the check_nrpe command on the server: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.45 -c loadscript_check_error_log NRPE: Unable to read output - I then tried adding nagios to the /etc/group (admin group) on the client and running it again. Still failed. What a tedious problem. JJ On Fri, 2008-10-31 at 15:50 -0700, Andy Shellam wrote: > Have you got sudo configured on your NRPE host?
