[Nagios-users] check_procs count going haywire on Ubuntu
After wondering why all of the processes I'm checking with check_procs were counting an extra, I discovered the bug with /bin/dash under Debian [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626913] As a workaround (because I'm not interested in changing the default shell for the entire server), I called /bin/bash when defining my commands in nrpe.cfg. Now they're going haywire in a different way. For instance: command[check_pdns_config_pub]=/bin/bash -c /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1:1 -c 1:1 -a pdns_server --config-name=public But now Nagios reports: PROCS OK: 271 processes I am baffled. Every process I am checking now reports 271, which is how many total processes are running. Prior to explicitly defining the shell in the command, it was reporting correctly but adding one process to the count, so I shouldn't have broken it too badly here. Any suggestions on a better workaround? Thanks!
