<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">Hi List</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I have a problem where a check_nrpe returns garbage on nagios server. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">The command is a "check_oracle" defined in nrpe.cfg </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">- command[check_oracle]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle --db l919</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">on the local Solaris host it works normally but run from nagios server it returns garbage. Other check_nrpe commands (ie check_users etc) run normally on server and return correct output. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">The server is running RHEL5.3 and client is Solaris 9. I am using nrpe 1.8 on client and server. Tried later vers but this seemed to incompatible with the Solaris client. I have swapped the libexec/check_oracle script but this looks correct and it does work when run locally.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I have enabled debug on nrpe.cfg but nothing useful produced in log.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">Any ideas much appreciated.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">Thanks</FONT>
