distributed monitoring setup - ocsp_command not being executed

[Ric Moseley]

I had a similar problem and I ended up using printf instead of echo.

/usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t$return_code\t%s\n" $1 "$2" "$4" |
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/nsca/send_nsca -H X.X.X.X -c /usr/local/nagi
os/sbin/nsca/send_nsca.cfg

Very similar to mine except I specify the port --

/bin/echo -e "$1\t$2\t$return_code\t$4\n" |
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca [host removed] -p 5668 -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg

I can't remember if it's mandatory to specify the port or not
actually... It's odd that it works from the command line _and_ it's
actually being called by nagios with the right information... The last
thing I can think of (besides specifying the port) would be permissions
on send_nsca.

Jebus!.
I added the port and its working like a charm.

many thanx.
Jason.
