1st post, so naturally the 1st question by the nagios newb re: socket error

[Martin Melin]

Hi,
Where did you define the check_s1 command? On which host? It looks like an
NRPE config so is this on one of the web servers or on your Nagios host?

Where did you try running the command from the shell? On the Nagios host or
the web server?

Please show the command definition from Nagios for check_s1 as well.

Make sure that you've edited the correct NRPE config file, reloaded nrped if
you're not using inetd. To check that
the check works from the command line, run the check_nrpe command from
Nagios, not check_http from Nagios or the webserver.

Regards,
Martin Melin
