It's often a permission problem. Also, you generally want to put the full path to commands in the script so the env is good: /bin/rm /bin/echo Etcetera...

I have almost completed it except for following: I have a custom shell that checks the existence of a file on linux and sends the correct result. This is the piece of the code that I have question: . . . if test -e "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/out.txt" then echo "Jobs XXFAILED" rm -f /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/out.txt exit 2 else echo "Jobs XXSUCCEEDED" rm -f /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/out.txt exit 0 fi The problem is when I run this file directly from linux, I get the echo correctly and the files gets deleted. But when ran from Nagios, the echo gets returned BUT IT DOES NOT DELETE THE FILE.
