Checking emails/pages and check_nrpe

[Mukarram Syed]

Thanks for replying Jan.

I have setup nrpe to run under xinetd.
and it's waiting/listening as shown below:
tcp        0      0 *:nrpe                  *:*       
             LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 triton:nrpe             gaia:1303 
             TIME_WAIT 

I restarted xinetd with "debug=1" in the nrpe.cfg but
no log files were generated for nrpe in
/var/log/messages.

Any suggestions.  

Thanks Much.
