nrpe and check_mailq

[Kevin Freels]

Greetings!

I'm having an odd issue with check_mailq and nrpe. When I run the
check_mailq command natively (i.e., on the client), I get the proper
response:

testhost:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./check_mailq  -w 300 -c 500
OK: mailq (01) is below threshold (300/500) | mailq = 01
  

But if I run it remotely from the server:

nagios# ./check_nrpe -H testhost -c check_mailq
 | mailq =


If I run any other remote command, it works:

nagios# ./check_nrpe -H testhost -c check_slapd_proc
PROCS OK: 13 processes with command name 'slapd'

- or - 

nagios# ./check_nrpe -H testhost -c check_load
OK - load average: 0.06, 0.14, 0.17|load1=0.060;15.000;30.000;0;
load5=0.140;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.170;5.000;20.000;0;


I've tried the usual (restart nrpe on the client, telnet to 5666), all
seems to be okay.

Hints? Tips? Tricks?

Thanks, as always!!
