<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I'm slightly confused - Do you have "#!/bin/bash" in the top of your shell script, and is it set to be executable by (at least) the nagios user? (Not sure why you are calling bash then the script name as an
arg, that is odd to me, but maybe I'm missing something)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
