How do I get to that variable? Since Nagios uses .htaccess, it's stuffed into the CGI environment variable REMOTE_USER by the webserver and accessible by any httpd spawned process. 2) I can run my script from one of my other websites, but when I drop it into the ~nagios/sbin directory, I get an execution failure. How can I get my script to run from under the nagios directory structure? This is kind of an odd question since we didn't write your script nor do we have any idea of it's requirements. All I can suggest are basic troubleshooting ideas : verify permissions are correct, try running it as the user your web server runs as, verify paths in your script are sane and check you httpd error log for clues. -- Marc</BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
