Im currently working on that. But as an alternative can we pass the state arguments using NRPE daemon along with the command such that the state checks can be done in the remote machine itself and the restart-script can be executed there itself using the check_command in the nrpe.cfg file such that we dont have to ssh and restart the service.

Made use of the NRPE plugins to montior the different services on a remote host.

You'll probably want to configure a way for the nagios user to restart httpd. Sudoers would help there. Otherwise, you'll end up having to SSH as root to restart it. Hope that helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
