It's also probably fiddling around with small-percentage improvements, but I'm somewhat theoretically-minded, so the fact that it *can* go wrong and there might be a better way was bothering me. Anyway, that's what I was thinking about. Thanks for confirming that the check_command is what defines "host down", I thought so but wasn't confident. (Nagios documentation is pretty good as such things go, mostly when I get confused I eventually work out that what I had wrong was right in a not-too-weird place in the docs.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ 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
