I been following  your Emails on this issue and it looks like this must be
some simple mistake somewhere, for example runtime Libexec is not the
directory your using, FIlemames mispellings, things missing from the path or
some other unkown issue.

Try running some normal shell script that just gives a date or pwd to
validate the Libexec directory you are copying files to is the one nagios is
run from.

In the above command was it suppose to be sendmail.pl instead of
check_sendmail.pl ? (I am not sure I did not think hard about what the
command does) but most of the prior emails mentioned only sendmail.pl while
check_ is common prefix of most common nagios plugins.

Last in prior posts I noticed the -n in the command has a space between the
- and the n is it really there or is it just my email reader? if it is there
should it be there?
