Here's the rub: I'm trying to determine whether a process on a remote Solaris box is running. I haven't messed around with nrpe on that system yet and have access already in place via key exchange. So I use check_by_ssh to connect and run bssp -a | grep bprd (it's a netbackup thing). If I get back something like "root 2676 1 0 Jul 07 ? 0:03 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd" then I know the process is running and my backups won't fail. Right now Nagios flags that as unknown status and clutters up my pristine tactical view with a flag. So how do I get Nagios to recognize this an OK state? Thanks Thomas Wood </BODY> </HTML>
