Check_Openmanage configuration question

[Daniel Ceola]

Trond,

Thank you for the assistance.  After reading your replies, I realized that in the script file, I somehow had accidentally left a blank line at the very top.  After I removed the empty line, the system began running the script correctly, and I can now see results.

I knew it had to be something simple like that!


Thanks,

Daniel Ceola

Tip: Run the plugin with the '-V' or '--version' switch to view the
version number.

This looks correct to me.

Weird. Your system seem to be running the plugin through a shell. The
output above is exactly what you'll get if you run

  sh ./check_openmanage

To specify perl as interpreter, run:

  perl ./check_openmanage

However, this should not be needed. The system should identify it as a
perl script and use perl to execute it by default. Have you edited the
plugin in some way? Check that the md5sum is correct:

  $ md5sum check_openmanage
  5281718fe9e5c4b9570fe76f0fb424ec  check_openmanage

The above sum is correct for version 3.6.6. You should verify that you
get the same (if running 3.6.6). The latest version and its md5sum are
available here:

PS. In your example above you have forgotten the '-H' switch.

PPS. The file extension (or the name itself) is unimportant.

Cheers,
