NRPE vs local check_procs = different result?

[Onotsky, Steve x55328]

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem, or the cold meds are clouding
my thinking...  but wouldn't the child process that NRPE fires off, have
'/usr/sbin/alljunk' as a parameter?

I am getting different results from NRPE than the local commands that
NRPE is supopsed to be running.  I am trying to understand if I am doing
something wrong, or if I am hitting a bug.  the process is NOT running,
and the local command verifies this.  the NRPE command from the server
is saying it IS running, though.

 

any help is appreciated!

 

 

-------- from the client being monitored

 

# grep alljunk /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
command[procs_alljunka]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1: -c 1:
-a '/usr/sbin/alljunk'

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c 1: -c 1: -a '/usr/sbin/alljunk'
PROCS CRITICAL: 0 processes with args '/usr/sbin/alljunk'

 

 

-------- from the nagios server

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H xx.xx.xx.xx -c procs_alljunka
PROCS OK: 1 process with args '/usr/sbin/alljunk'
