System call sent warnings to stderr message

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

When I manually run check_nrpe -H <host> -n -c check_total_procs on the Nagios
server, I get the System call sent warnings to stderr message. This is also true
when I ran the above command with check_zombie_procs.

I then went to the client system, and ran the check_procs command as the nagios
user with the following syntax for checking zombie processes:

./check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z

The response I got was the following:
	System call sent warnings to stderr

I ran the check_procs command again as the nagios users to check the total
amount of processes:

./check_procs -w 150 -c 200

The response this time was the following:
	System call sent warnings to stderr
	PROCS WARNING: 77 processes

What's the error that you see when you run check_nrpe as the nagios user
on your nagios machine? If you see only the error above there, what is
the error that you see when you run check_procs as the nrpe user on your
destination machine? One or the other is sending error messages to
stderr that nagios doesn't capture. I would guess that there's a problem
running check_procs on the destination host.
