I am running nrpe in Solaris and I have to launch nrpe as nagios
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d
After much head banging I discovered that nrpe doesn't acknowledge the
nagios user ENV assignments at all unless I launch this as the nagios
user. If you launch with sudo it won't work, and trying to source a
.profile or something in the command doesn't seem to work either. Is
there some way to configure nrpe to always source a file right after
forking so that ENV parameters are maintained?
I found this all out by experimenting with running printenv via NRPE and
how it differed when started nrpe in daemon mode as root, via sudo or
from the nagios account. These problems are without question the most
flummoxing to debug. If there is some explanation on how nrpe handles
the ENV and how I can control it I would be greatly appreciative.
