SNMP Process check

[Travis J. Noll]

G,

try cd'ing to your nagios/bin directory and then running 
/where/nagios/lives/plugins/your_plugin_name.pl [ARGS] as the nagios user.

In my case:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_process.pl -H <IP
removed> -C <community removed> -n BRMService.exe


Also, try to change the shebang line to include the libexec directory.

mine changed to this:

#!/usr/local/perl5.8.3/bin/perl -wI /usr/local/nagios/libexec
