At first glance, my guess is your shell is interpreting the "*" as a file wildcard. You probably need to put quotes around it like so: ./check_esx3.pl -D 10.1.82.34 -u <user> -p <pw> -l vmfs -x "local_*" Alternatively, backslash-escape it like so: ./check_esx3.pl -D 10.1.82.34 -u <user> -p <pw> -l vmfs -x local_\* It's not clear whether check_esx3.pl supports wildcard notation though. Without actually looking at the code I would guess not, or if it does it might use regular expressions in which case the syntax would be: ./check_esx3.pl -D 10.1.82.34 -u <user> -p <pw> -l vmfs -x "local_.*" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
