check_procs count going haywire on Ubuntu - still broken

[Kimberly McKinnis]

Thank you for that observation. I was being dumb with the quoting.
ButŠit's still not working correctly.

The commands work properly on the command line on the host (admin1), but
the Nagios server (monitor1) sees +1 count again. I am very confused by
this. Does Nagios server force it back to the dash shell in Ubuntu? I
thought maybe the +1 was transient because I ran the check manual, but all
of the checks are also reporting +1 and I haven't run them manually.

My check looks like: command[check_pdns_recursor]=/bin/bash -c
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1:1 -c 1:1 -a pdns_recursor"


root at admin1:~# /bin/bash -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1:1 -c
1:1 -a pdns_recursor"
PROCS OK: 1 process with args 'pdns_recursor'

But the server reports:


root at monitor1:/etc/nagios3/conf.d# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H
admin2.cgx1.prod.conviva.com -c check_pdns_recursor
PROCS CRITICAL: 2 processes with args 'pdns_recursor'
