Nagios fills up the /tmp directory

[Hendrik Baecker]

Hi Mark,

I am assuming that you're using the check_mssql.sh Plugin and the IP 
Adresses are all your MSSQL Server?

I got this little failure long time ago and since them just deleted the 
files because they don't comes regulary.

But I think on a special error with the MS-SQL Check this files were 
written and were not be cleaned up by the script.
I am sorry but until now I had no chance to find out where to change the 
plugin, it looks clean for me.
In every situation the 'rmcmd' is called for every of the three tmpfiles 
before script termination.

A few days ago I've changed the filenames of the three tmpfiles and 
waiting for this special error to find out in which section of the 
script the error comes from.

Now it looks like that the error occurs when the check_mssql.sh runs 
into a Service Check timeout:

This is in the Nagios-Log:
[06-07-2005 21:24:33] SERVICE ALERT: WIN100A023;MS-SQL 
2000;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(Service Check Timed Out)

And these are the files:
-rw-------    1 nagios   nagios          0 Jul  6 21:24 
10.2.70.132-error.KayB5a
-rw-------    1 nagios   nagios          0 Jul  6 21:24 
10.2.70.132-result.c8dPP7
-rw-------    1 nagios   nagios         12 Jul  6 21:24 
10.2.70.132-tmp.SoGrv7

On Monday I have to find out from our Database Guys what was happend to 
their MS SQL on that date. Perhaps I can tell you more on Monday.
