I’m using NSClient to get to a Counter that provides the number of items in the queue. From the command line the check_nt command executes as expected. However when executed from within Nagios it returns: Return code of 127 is out of bounds…) The nagios configs are as follows: define command{ host_name wf1 service_description AUDIT Q MSG is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups techops notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options u check_command audit_queue!5!10 } and: # Check the number of items in the MSMQ Audit Queue define command{ command_name audit_queue command_line $USER$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l '\\MSMQ Queue(wf1\private$\ppmd audit)\\Messages in Queue','Items in MSMQ Audit Queue: %.f' -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ } I’m pretty sure that it’s the fact that the MSMQ queue name in the –l portion of the command has a “$” contained in it. Is there any way to escape out the “$” ? I’ve tried single, double quotes, and “\” before it. I’ve also tried putting the “private$” portion into $ARG1$. All with no success. Does anybody have any additional ideas? Thanks! -scott<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
