Nagios script output issue

 Folks,

I switched to "check_http" plugin (official nagios plugin) but that also has
same problem.

Initially when I start nagios then the status on the Nagios Web interface is
same as the one returned from commandline.

After some time the status becomes critical but is not as same as the
commandline. Command line returns the correct status of OK instead of what
the Nagios web interface shows as "CRITICAL"

Result from commandline(& browser) -
./check_http -H xyz.com -p 2222 -u /abc -t 3
OK

Result from Nagios Interface -
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket

I am thinking that this has something to do with Nagios as the box is
behaving just fine based on the commandline result(and verified on the URL
through the browser).

Please help!

Thanks,
Allan.
