The command I try to use is: ./check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u <A href="http://www.yahoo.com" target=_blank>http://www.yahoo.com</A> -e HTTP/1.1 200 Though the command works fine from the bash shell on RH 9 under the nagios user account, it doesn't work through the scripts... When executing from the shell I get a HTTP Ok response, from the scripts it returns a HTTP CRITICAL. I am using nagios-1.1 and nagios-plugins-1.3.1 (check_http (1.24.2.4) from SourceForge... My hunch is that the // in the URL are not taken literal but are being interpreted by nagios. Anyone any ideas, or a possible workaround? I have already tried using \ as escape char, using %47%47, creating a macro in resources.cfg, double quoting the URL, and passing it from services to a $ARG1$ macro in my check_command, and combinations of these. Nothing worked so far.. Ideas anyone??? Thanks, Danny My files look as follows: checkcommands.cfg: define command{ command_name check_http_proxy command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u <A href="http://www.yahoo.com" target=_blank>http://www.yahoo.com</A> -e HTTP/1.1 200 } services.cfg: define service { name generic-service-template active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 2 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c register 0 } define service { name http-proxy-template service_description HTTP Proxy check_command check_http_proxy use generic-service-template register 0 } define service { hostgroup_name proxy-srv contact_groups admin-group use http-proxy-template } <HR> This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared. <HR> <DIV> <HR> Teach CanIt if this mail (ID 182567) is spam: <A href="http://mail02.stbernard.com/b.php?c=s&i=182567&m=1bf58beaf387">Spam</A> <A href="http://mail02.stbernard.com/b.php?c=n&i=182567&m=1bf58beaf387">Not spam</A> <A href="http://mail02.stbernard.com/b.php?c=f&i=182567&m=1bf58beaf387">Forget previous vote</A> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
