To set the variable $USER1$ to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ you need to edit the resource.cfg.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> You can also try executing the command to see if it actually works. Just go to where the check_nt is located and run it. That would eliminate a few things. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> HTH,<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Jon<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
