You do, of course, have to run this on the Nagios server, since that's where the pipe is. The message in your log seems to indicate you typo'd the SCHEDULE_HOST_SVC_CHECK command. If you're using NSCA, your pipe works: it submits commands to Nagios the same way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
