Event_handler and check_nrpe

[Hendric Minassian]

I am trying to use an event_handler to reatrt a process on a remote server. I use NRPE for this purpose.
The process works fine when I run the full check_nrpe command from the command line of the Nagios server:
 
#./check_nrpe -H nnn.nn.nnn.nn -c restart_alert_agent_new -a CRITICAL SOFT 2
However, the restart script on the remote server does not kick in when the alert is encountered by Nagios itself. Below is the command defined in misccommands.cfg:
 
define command{
      command_name    restart_alert_agent_new
      command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_alert_agent_new -a $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
      }
 
As mentioned, the restart script in the remote server works fine when invoked through the command line on Nagios server (above).
Below is the definition of the service in services.cfg:
 
# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service ; Name of service template to use
 
        host_name                       CHOCLX-INTTEST
        service_description             check_total_procs
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            2
        event_handler_enabled           1
        event_handler                   restart_alert_agent_new
        contact_groups                  sun-admins,lawson-admins,egate-admins
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            u,c
        notifications_enabled           1
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_total_procs
        }
 
Thank you for your help.
