Remote nrpe problems with sending arguments

[Brian O'Mahony]

I have two check_load in my nrpe.cfg file:

command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
command[check_load2]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

When I call them, unfortunately the one with arguments doesn't work.

check_nrpe -t 60 -H 172.16.165.214 -c "check_load"
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.000;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.000;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.000;5.000;20.000;0;

[root at localhost ~]# /usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -t 60 -H 172.16.165.214 -c "check_load2"
Warning threshold must be float or float triplet!

So this makes it look like it is looking for the arguments, however when I supply them, it returns no data.

[root at localhost ~]# /usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -t 60 -H 172.16.165.214 -c "check_load2" -a "15,10,5" "30,25,20"
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.

This happens for other commands also, such as check_users etc

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? (remote machine is RHEL4u6 with the RPMs installed (not compiled from source)

Thanks
