You were right. It need to be told to use ipv4 with -4 switch. Thanks Cosmin Neagu NOC Team Leader Str. I. G. Duca nr. 36 Otopeni, Judetul Ilfov, 075100 Romania www.omnilogic.ro On 06/07/2012 11:32 PM, Holger Weiß wrote: > * Travis Runyard [2012-06-07 13:18]: >> It does work but I was

Long option and short option achieve the same thing, which requires an IP address. I have tried it out, on two separate nagios boxes, one running Debian, the other, Redhat. Why don't you copy and paste the results from shell to prove me wrong? On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 12:26 PM, Holger Weiß wrote: >
