I know that I can call the check_by_ssh plugin and pass the script name for the command parameter but I don’t know how to pass the result back to the check_by_ssh plugin.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> When I ssh into the box and run the .vbs script for CPU by executing the following command:<o:p></o:p> cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w 80 -c 90<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I get the following:<o:p></o:p> OK - Total CPU Utilization 2% | 'CPU_Utilization'=2%;80%;90%;;<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> However, if I try the following command:<o:p></o:p> ./libexec/check_by_ssh –H testserver –C “cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w 80 -c 90”<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I get nothing returned, the prompt just comes back like it ran the script but returned no result.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Has anyone else ever written a custom plugin to pull the result back in via ssh? For security concerns and traffic control, I would prefer to use ssh instead of nrpe for running wmi scripts. Especially since we are trying to make it so that the wmi scripts will only report the statistics for that box instead of branching out to other Windows boxes on the subnet.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any help would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks.<o:p></o:p> Laura<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Laura Goodburn<o:p></o:p> SMC Manager<o:p></o:p> Information and Technology Services<o:p></o:p> The <ns1:PlaceType w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></ns1:PlaceType> of <ns1:PlaceName w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">North Carolina</st1:PlaceName></ns1:PlaceName> at <ns1:place w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><ns1:City w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Charlotte</st1:place></st1:City></ns1:City></ns1:place><o:p></o:p> <ns1:Street w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><ns1:address w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" ns0:style="BACKGROUND-POSITION: left bottom; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(res://ietag.dll/#34/#1001); BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat-x" ns0:tabIndex="0"><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">9201 University City Boulevard</st1:address></st1:Street></ns1:address></ns1:Street><o:p></o:p> <ns1:place w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><ns1:City w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Charlotte</st1:City></ns1:City></st1:place>, <ns1:State w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:State w:st="on">NC</st1:State></ns1:State> <ns1:PostalCode w:insAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:insDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="lmgoodbu" w:endInsDate="2006-05-31T16:12:00Z"><st1:PostalCode w:st="on">28223</st1:PostalCode></ns1:PostalCode></ns1:place><o:p></o:p> Phone (704) 687-8988<o:p></o:p> lmgoodbu@uncc.edu<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
