script giving plugin missing error.

[prabhu.anandh at wipro.com]

Hi fredrik,
I have checked it and the problem is not with the nagios.when it tries to execute check_new and the shell script does not create the "out " file.
Any ideas of how to solve the problem.i have given the full path for new.pl ,but it is not working.
If I try to execute manually by changing the $HOSTADDRESS in shell script with the exact address,it create out file.otherwise not????????why??
Thanks in advance.
 
regards,
Prabhu Anandh S.

The problem is the line './new.pl'

Nagios is not executed from the libexec-directory, so you need the full 
path to the secondary script (and to the outfile).
