If you're running this check on a machine other than the one running the Nagios server, you should be using one of the remote check plugins as a wrapper, either check_by_ssh or nrpe.

I want to ensure that one and only one instance is running. I am using check_procs, but I can't seem to get the command name and args right. How should I do this? Details: I'm using Nagios Version 3.0.5. The command in ps appears as: 0 R myuser 26507 1 48 75 0 - 91419 - 16:05 pts/0 00:14:48 python -u -O /home/myuser/scripts/ make_async_xmlrequest_libraries.py In my commands.cfg file I tried: define command{ command_name check_my_job command_line $USER1$/check_procs -c 1:1 -C "python" -a "/home/ myuser/scripts/make_async_xmlrequest_libraries.py" } and define command{ command_name check_my_job command_line $USER1$/check_procs -c 1:1 -C "python" -a "-u - O /home/myuser/scripts/make_async_xmlrequest_libraries.py" } and define command{ command_name check_my_job command_line $USER1$/check_procs -c 1:1 -C "python -u -O / home/myuser/scripts/make_async_xmlrequest_libraries.py" } and define command{ command_name check_my_job command_line $USER1$/check_procs -c 1:1 -C "make_async_xmlrequest_libraries.py" } but Nagios always reports that there are zero processes (I can see in the UI that it is doing the new check each time, but it does not find the process). Thanks!
