Temptrax plugin for Netsaint

[Ashwin Kotian]

I've just purchased the Sensatronics Digital temperature monitoring device & am able to run the following successfully from the command line:

/usr/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_temptraxf -d /dev/ttyS0 -p 1 -w 68 -c 75

However in Netsaint version 0.0.7b8-2, if I add the same command in the service definition as follows:

service[host]=Lab Temperature;0;24x7;3;5;1;linux-admins;120;24x7;1;1;1;;"/usr/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_temptraxf -d /dev/ttyS0 -w 68 -c 75"

It fails with Netsaint logs reporting: Error: Unable to open /dev/ttyS0 for reading/writing!!

What is the problem here ??? Please help...

Thanks,

Ashwin.
