Need some help w/custom plug-in, please

[Scott Whitney]

Dean,
I thought of that, but the thing runs just fine.  If you run it from the
command line.  The permissions are all the same for this plug-in as well as
all the others in that directory.  Also, if I su to nagios, it runs fine (as
well as as root).  It just keeps saying "No Output".

My resource config file says:
$USER1$=/var/www/nagios/libexec

My command file(check_virus_dat.cfg) says:
define command {
  command_name                    check_virus_dat
  command_line                    $USER1$/check_virus_dat
}

The service file for the box it's on (camel) says:
####################### BEGIN SERVICE DEFINITION #######################
define service {
  use                             int-service

  host_name                       camel
  service_description             virus_dat
  check_command                   check_virus_dat
}
######################## END SERVICE DEFINITION ########################

There shouldn't be any more to it, I would think.

Anyone????????????  This is killing me!

Could it be a permissions problem??

I have a simple plug in.  It calculates the age of the virus files based on
"now" and alerts you if outside your acceptable range.

It's called check_virus_dat.  It returns statusText of "Virus files are ___
days old." via sys.stdout and exits with exit code 0,1 or 2 based on good,
warn, critical.

Now, it's python-based, but the last 2 lines are all that matter.  My
command is:
define command {
  command_name                    check_virus_dat
  command_line                    $USER1$/check_virus_dat
}

The last 2 lines are:
print StatusText, status
sys.exit(status)

It returns the statusText ok, and I can see the exit code it's about to use.
Other scripts I've written are using these same exits fine.

When I run locally, I get (No output!)
When I run via nrpe, I get "Return code 32 is out of bounds."

Can anyone help me on this, please?
