sometimes is just pays to know how your shell works!

this works:
nagios at jenna ~ $ /usr/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H ma01 -C '/opt/nagios/libexec/check_log2.pl -l /var/log/messages -s /tmp/seekfile -p 
crit\|warn\|info\|auth'
(3): Mar 24 16:16:43 ma01 sshd[9677]: [ID 800047 auth.info] Accepted publickey for nagios from 10.121.121.250 port 32945 ssh2

but, not as you would hope so.  if you rerun it two seconds later, it reports the same error. not the desired/correct result i was looking for.

has anyone ever got check_log2.pl to "correctly" look for multiple strings without running the script mutiple times?

regards,



_Terry
