Temptrax plugin for Netsaint

[Chris Stankaitis]

If I had to guess, when your running the command from CMD Line your 
probably root, or another user that isn't the same user that your 
running netsaint as, check the ownership and permissions for /dev/ttyS0 
chances are you'll find that you need to give the user that Nagios is 
running as permissions to access the device.
