I’ve got some basic tests working from a command line (namely checkuptime, checkmem and checkdrivesize). All well and good. However my problems start when I try to run checkcpu within a Nagios environment – “UNKNOWN - Permission denied when trying to store the state data. Sometimes this happens if you have been testing the plugin from the command line as a different user to the Nagios process user.” is being displayed. It works just fine from a command line. <o:p></o:p> The error message for that problem is very explicit. The rest of the that message that you didn't paste into your message tells you what you need to do It will say something along the lines of: "You will need to change the permissions on the file or remove it. The actual error text is: Can't create /tmp/cwpss_checkcpu_.state" Do what it says and you should be ok <o:p></o:p>Also I can’t for the life of me get the checkts –s sessions(2003) working at all “WARNING: Could not correctly parse "customfield" definition in ini file: (for checkts sessions2003)” is being displayed.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Something might not be quite right with the ini files you have. Try this - 1) Try downloading them again, try the command again 2) Remove the ini files one at time, running the command after each removal until the error goes away. Leave check_wmi_plus.ini to last as that is the one that contains the checkts checks. This should identify which one has the error. 3) Zip/tar them up and send them to me<o:p></o:p><div>-- <a href="http://www.smartmon.com.au">Smartmon System Monitoring</a> <a href="http://www.smartmon.com.au">www.smartmon.com.au</a> <o:p></o:p></div></div>************************************************************************ The information in this internet E-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
