Obsessive Compulsive Problem

Whoops, sorry, I meant to do that, and forgot to hit "paste"!

#!/bin/sh

# Arguments:
#  $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is
#       associated with)
#  $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
#  $3 = state_string (A string representing the status of
#       the given service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL"
#       or "UNKNOWN")
#  $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used
#       as the plugin output for the service checks)
#

touch /tmp/blah

# Convert the state string to the corresponding return code
return_code=-1

case "$3" in
  OK)
    return_code=0
  ;;
  WARNING)
    return_code=1
  ;;
  CRITICAL)
    return_code=2
  ;;
  UNKNOWN)
    return_code=-1
  ;;
esac

# pipe the service check info into the send_nsca program, which
# in turn transmits the data to the nsca daemon on the central
# monitoring server

/bin/echo "$1\t$2\t$return_code\t$4\n" >/tmp/blah

/bin/echo "$1\t$2\t$return_code\t$4\n" | /opt/nagios/bin/send_nsca \
172.29.3.254 -c /opt/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg

If I run it on the command line, it works A-OK.  It doesn't get run AT ALL
by nagios -- that's why i put the touch at the top, so I'd see if it was
actually being run.

    "Workaround: don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey."
