aren't you missing a -c before check_disk?
typo on command line or typo in email?

Can someone help out with my CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10
seconds issue.
I have Nagios running on a Debian server, runs tests to Windows Boxes OK.
I am attempting to do remote checks of an Debian server.
I can telnet on port 5666 to the remote server, netstat -l reports:
tcp 0 0 *:nrpe *:* LISTEN
I can run this check on the remote server:
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.0.10.200/" target="_blank">10.0.10.200</a> -p 5666 -t 30
check_disk # NRPE v2.0
What information/configurations files do you need from me?
Regards
Paul Roberts.
