I write about how the team I am on at Comcast implemented PNP to

that Nagios doesn't pause while modpnpsender sends events .. will be
releasing that code as a patch soon). Ha

How about setting the notification command in the service to a null

What kind of device are you querying? If it is a Cisco device, it

You could set up PNP, copy the files from Cacti into PNP directories
and play with making a few templates and if that works then just use
PNP to view the historical files from Cacti in one location and use a

If you do an SNMP get for the battery status from the CLI using the
Net-SNMP snmpget command do you get the same response (unknown) as you
do from the check_s
that or you can use the same philosophy, script to sync Nagios

Tested this to verify it, and you and Dale are correct, the parser

if the checkconfig fails, it touches a flag file .. the restart script
will then look for this flag and not restart if the flag file is
