path problem in plugin

[Leonardo Carneiro]

Hi,

I wrote a small bash script that checks bandwidth, using the statgrab tool.

The statgrab executable file is located in /usr/local/bin. This folder 
is in the PATH variable of the user nagios (tested in command line), but 
the file is not found when the script is runned by the nagios process.
Doing an "echo $PATH" inside the script, the value of the variable is 
not the same as it was when the same command is executed in the command 
line with the nagios user.
This is the return when executed from the command line:

    $ echo `whoami` $PATH
    nagios
    /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/jdk1.5.0_11/bin:/home/user/bin:/database/replicacao/bin:/home/nagios/bin

And this is the return when the script is called by the nagios process:

    nagios /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

Why the PATH variable is not the same in the command line and inside the 
nagios process?
Sorry for my poor english and tks in advance.
