AW: Monitoring Windows Event Log from Nagios

[Greg King]

I solved the embedded perl problem by encapulating the perl script inside a shell script. Here's the code that works for me:

[root at z3 libexec]# cat check_win_eventlog.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_win_eventlog.pl $1 $2 $3 $4 $5
$6 $7 $8
exit $?

Then change the nagios command to call the shell script (check_win_eventlog.sh) instead of the perl script. This seems to bypass the broken embedded perl interpreter of Nagios.

Regards, 
Greg King
