<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> I also tried this as well from the server , which does work.... ssh 172.xx.xx.xx /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 8 Authorized users only. USERS OK - 0 users currently logged in |users=0;5;8;0 This tells me that 1. ssh as Nagios works 2. the check_users script runs on the remote client fine 3. 2 - way communication is good between the client & sever as I got the response back I am thinking there has to be something funky in the check_by_ssh script.
