<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [Nagios-users] check_mailq usage</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>  The plugin expects to be run on the machine with the mail queue you want to check. That's probably why it's failing. Like the majority of the plugins that check non-network related items, there is no support for connecting to a remote host to check local stats. You'll need to use a transport mechanism such as NRPE or check-by-ssh. -- Marc -----Original Message----- From: kollasch.drew@bvrmc.org <kollasch.drew@bvrmc.org> To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Fri Apr 16 15:00:15 2004 Subject: [Nagios-users] check_mailq usage I am attempting to get the check_mailq check to work, but am having some troubles. Executing from the CLI, ... gentoo1 nagios # /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 5 -c 10 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line 110. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line 110. | mailq = Use of uninitialized value in exit at /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line 111. ... any ideas? also the mailq that I wish to check IS on a different host, how would I specify that? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------- Drew Kollasch Network/Desktop Technician Buena Vista Regional Medical Center kollasch.drew@bvrmc.org 712-732-4455x2153 ******************************************** This message and accompanying documents are covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 壯 2510-2521, and contain information intended for the specified individual (s) only.
