Strange NRPE issue

[Francis Dube]

Hi,

I'm using Nagios nagios-2.12_1 with NRPE nrpe2-2.11_1 to check if my 
display is working properly. I'm taking a screenshot every 4 minutes and 
then i compare it with the last screenshot. My script is working very 
well when it's ran locally but when i'm calling it from the server the 
screenshot isn't taken. I tought it was a right problem on the Xorg 
server, but i tried with "xhost +" (which do "access control disabled, 
clients can connect from any host"). Both ways i run the script with the 
user 'nagios'. The rest of the commands in the scripts work fine, the 
only problem is with the screenshot which is taken using this command : 
import -display :0 -window root /afolder/myscreenshot.png

I also tried to run the script over shh (ssh nagios at 1.2.3.4 
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_news) and this method is working as fine 
as locally. So i think there's something wrong with the way NRPE execute 
my script.

Anyone got an idea of the reason why the screenshot isn't working when i 
run the script with NRPE ?

Thanks !

Francis
