I believe that theory might have been correct for 2.x, but from what I have read the same does not apply for 3.x (see 17 in the what's new for v3). -- Jon Angliss <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </div></div></blockquote></div> -- -t-
