heck result path is not a valid directory

[Honia A]

Hi and thank you for your reply.

 

Here are the outputs:

 

[root at localhost ~]# cd /var/nagios/spool/
[root at localhost spool]# ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 2 nagios nagios 4096 Jul  1 10:25 checkresults

 


[root at localhost var]# cd /var
[root at localhost var]# ls -l
drwxrwxrwx  5 nagios nagios 4096 Jul  1 09:16 nagios

Please let me know what my mistake is...

 

Thanks,

h
