Unknown check_spamd.pl plugin status

[joseph blase]

Hi List,

 I have this simple plugin that check for spamd availability on my
mailservers, but apparently the service status on webui is always
unknown.Running it manually on CLI return success.
nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_spamd.pl mailgw
OK

Don't have an nrpe installed if ever that would matter. Object commands and
host had been also defined. Appreciate for any tips.



below is the actual script:

nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# more check_spamd.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#=for Information:
#Program to check to make sure spamd is running and report back to nrpe for
#nagios.

use strict;                 #Do it right
use Switch;                 #Standard perl 5.8 module to use switch
statement
use POSIX qw( WIFEXITED );  #Fix system call's strange return values

my $spamc = "/usr/bin/spamc";    #Location of spamc
my $hostname=$ARGV[0];
#
#Make sure spamc exists and if not give back a nagios warning
if ( !-e $spamc ){
    print "The $spamc program does not exist.\n";
        exit 3;
        }

        #The command to be run
        my $cmd = "echo foo | $spamc -x -c -t 10 -d $hostname > /dev/null";

        #Run the command
        WIFEXITED(system ($cmd)) or die "Couldn't run $cmd\n";
#
#        #Divide by 256 or bitshift right by 8 to get the original error
code
        my $return_value = $? >> 8;
#
#        #Parse the errors and give Nagios parsible error codes and messages
        switch ($return_value){
            case 0      {print "OK\n"; exit 0;}
            case 64     {print "Command line usage error\n"; exit 1;}

            case 67     {print "Addressee unknown\n"; exit 1;}

            case 71     {print "System error (e.g., can't fork)\n"; exit 2;}
            case 72     {print "Critical OS file missing\n"; exit 2;}
            case 73     {print "Can't create (user) output file\n"; exit 1;}
            case 74     {print "Input/output error\n"; exit 1;}
            case 75     {print "Temp failure; user is invited to retry\n";
exit 1;}
            case 76     {print "Remote error in protocol\n"; exit 2;}
            case 77     {print "Permission denied\n"; exit 1;}

exit 3}
            }
