The ID and group you start the Nagios process with must have full permissions on the file that needs executed as well as the directory. I usually have NAgios and the group own the directory and files and have a 754 permission on them Joe Petrucci Office: 704-383-6089 Cell : 724-462-0443 <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>"Marco Borsani" <m.borsani@it.net> 04/04/2006 10:04 AM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top><joseph.petrucci@wachovia.com> <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top>"'NAGIOS'" <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>R: [Nagios-users] start a script automatically</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> I followed istructions on the manual.

Is it possible to start a script automatically on a remote host in case of a particolar event? For example, if nagios detects that process "named" on a DNS server is down, will Nagios can run a remote command on that server to restart the process?
