It's looking more and more clear that your command{} definition doesn't do what you think it does. You don't usually specify switches such as -H and -a as part of the service definition. Perhaps you should post the host, service and relevant command definitions for us to look at. I know for a fact that check_http can and will work the way you want if properly called. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
