Problem with custom plugin on a remote linux box

[Roderick Andrew Clemente]

Hi All,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am currently trying to setup
Nagios to monitor a Feed Handler on a remote Linux box. I am so close I can
taste it! Sadly, the nagios admin doesn't appear to be reading the command
properly. I am new to Nagios so please bear with me, there are a lot of
moving pieces so I thought i would provide as much information as possible
to make it easy to figure out the issue. If there is something I am missing,
please don't hesitate to ask. 

To start with, the admin is successfully monitoring other services on the
box, ping, processes, disk usage, etc. but for the custom plugin I am trying
to read, it fails with a status of CRITICAL and status info of NULL. Here is
what I believe to be the relevant config info.

On the machine being monitored
I added the perl script I created to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom/ (its
a modification of
http://www.deimos.fr/gitweb/?p=nagios_plugins.git;a=blob;f=check_file_conten
t/check_file_content.pl;h=ecf737389fd5a4360ee864eb55aca92056308445;hb=HEAD I
have tested it from the command line and it works as expected)

in the file: vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg i added 
command[check_wadmin]=perl /usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom/check_wadmin.pl
-f /tmp/nagiosInput.txt -i wait -n 35

On the monitoring machine
I already had the machine monitoring the remote linux box's basic stats, I
did this by creating a remotelinuxhost.cfg file at
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects (and adding a reference in the main config)

To remotelinuxhost.cfg I added: 

define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name Sun89
service_description Check Feed Handler
check_command check_wadmin
}


I also added commands.cfg (in the same folder) 

define command{
command_name check_wadmin
command_line perl /usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom/check_wadmin.pl -f
/tmp/nagiosInput.txt -i wait -n 35
}

When I reloaded the service, it accepted the config but the result is as
listed above... if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly
appreciated!!!
