Solaris 10 check_procs

[William Aiken]

Brandon,

I am just becoming familiar with Nagios in general and on Solaris in 
particular, but this is what I know about check_procs.

On Solaris, nagios builds this plugin (named pst3) as a 64 bit 
executable instead of 32 bit. It needs to use process address structures 
to preserve the entire string of command line arguments.  I believe this 
is the only 64 bit Solaris plugin executable.

Try running check_procs -vv

This gives you the executable (pst3) including complete pathname.

On my system, I got:

check_procs -vv
CMD: /export/home/nagios/opt/local/nagios/libexec/pst3
System call sent warnings to stderr: pst3: This program can only be run 
by the root user!

I can run the above command as root without a problem.
Trying running nrpe as root on the Solaris machine so that you can run pst3.

Regards,

Bill
