I think there was something in the FAQ about not using the built-in Perl interpreter. I don't, I've had nothing but trouble with it.

Not sure why that was the cause of the problem, though. Before I was just running it with $USER1$/<a href="http://name-of-plugin.pl" target="_blank">name-of-plugin.pl</a> The way I got it to work was /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/<a href="http://name-of-plugin.pl" target="_blank">name-of-plugin.pl</a> Also I had left open some of the command macros, ie typing $HOSTADDRESS Instead of $HOSTADDRESS$ Hope this helps some other people with this issue.

All plugins share the number of open filedescriptors with Nagios, so if many plugins run at the same time and the plugin is opening a lot of files or making a lot of socket connections, you might end up with it breaking from something like this. Does the plugin return proper output or do you get the Nagios-generated one? Does it always break or only sometimes? -- Andreas Ericsson <a href="mailto:andreas.ericsson@op5.se">andreas.ericsson@op5.se</a> OP5 AB <a href="http://www.op5.se" target="_blank">www.op5.se</a> Tel: <a href="tel:%2B46%208-230225" value="+468230225">+46 8-230225</a> Fax: <a href="tel:%2B46%208-230231" value="+468230231">+46 8-230231</a> Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
