Scripting within nrpe.cfg

[StinkyBob]

This is an easy one.

Just write a wrapper script to contain your dynamic values in it.

like this:

---begin script---
#!/bin/sh
NAGIOSDIR="/usr/local/nagios/libexec"
PLUGIN="check_file_age"
WARN=600
CRIT=1200
LOG="/usr/hns/pdreceiver/received/`ls -t /usr/hns/pdreceiver/received
| head -n 1`"

$NAGIOSDIR/$PLUGIN -w $WARN -c $CRIT $LOG
---end script---
and then have a corresponding line in nrpe.cfg:

command[check_somelogfileifyoufeellikeit]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/myownpluginwrapper.sh

-------------------------------------------------------

Hello:

I want to use the check_file_age plugin to tell me the age of the
newest file in a directory.  Something like this works from the
command-line:

"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_file_age -w 600 -c 1200
/usr/hns/pdreceiver/received/`ls -t /usr/hns/pdreceiver/received |
head -n 1`"

but if I try to place this line in the nrpe.cfg file it doesn't work
right.  Is there a way to do what I'm trying to accomplish?

Thanks

Aaron
