more check_citrix nonreturning woes

Stanley,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I didn't realize the plugin could take quotes that way. Thanks :)
Glad I could help with bug-stomping! Does this mean I have to *include* all those apps in the published application list between A1 and A5 (in your example)? Or do I just have to make sure they're in the correct order, i.e. A1, A5 as opposed to A5, A1?
I really don't want to make multiple command definitions for checking multiple #s of published apps if I can avoid it.... so the -P A1 -P A2 thing is definitely a last resort.
Also, I recently recompiled Nagios WITHOUT ePN support, so that's not it, and yes, I would be interested in testing a new version of check_citrix :)
Do let me know at your earliest convenience...
Thanks,
Jarett DeAngelis

1 The docco on the plugin needs to be corrected since it will accept -W
and -P options of "app1,app2,app3,..". To-do.

I think the check_command line is wrong in the service definition. I
suggest either
1 check_citrix!"App1,App2"!"App3,App4" or
because there is a nasty bug (Thanks !) in check_citrix that makes the
order of applications important (ie you have to specify the apps in the
same order as specified in the browse list eg if browse list returns
them A1,A2,A3,A4,A5 then
Bad: -P "A1,A5"
Good: -P "A1,A2,A3,A4.A5".
Are you interested in testing a new version ?

2.1 Change the command_line in checkcommands.cfg to
command_line $USER1$/check_citrix -C $HOSTADDRESS$ -W $ARG1$ -W $ARG2$
-P $ARG3 -P $ARG4$.
Pretty slack I know.
2.2 Change check_command in services.cfg to
check_citrix!"App1"!"App2"!"App3"!"App4"

No output means the plugin failed to write any output. This usually
means that
1 The plugin failed to compile under the tricky ePN environment
2 The plugin failed to handle the options and wigged out disgracefully.
Bad plugin. No Biscuit.

You'll get there. At least one huge Citrix site is running this plugin
Ok.
HTH.
Yours sincerely.
