A few questions: What version of nagios are you running? When you added the echo statement was IT the only thing in the script? or did you leave the rest of the script intact? What are the permissions of the directories, files of where your submit_check_result script is? Did you try running the script by hand as the user nagios runs under? PS: Give an example of what your submit_check_result script looks like. Hi Bryan !!! Thanks for your mail. I have since dicovered that the problem was the permissions of my send_nsca.cfg file !! For completeness: Version of nagios is 2.4 The echo statement was simply added with all other statements intact The permissions of the script files are readable and executable by anyone. It is owned by nagios:nagios. As I said above, I slipped up with not checking the send_nsca.cfg file !!! Thanks for your time, Bryan. Much appreciated !!!! John </BODY> </HTML>
