OK I have solved the issue. The plugin works only if you execute it within its own directory. If the PWD is not the same as the PWD of the executable plugin, then it does not work, even if you specify the full path to the executable.
I changed the line use lib "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins"; to use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec"; That fixed the problem, no longer getting null value olourkin-nag...@yahoo.com wrote: > Bit of a shot in the dark here, but I notice that in your examples from the > command line, you use -U, -w and -c.
