Help w/Solaris script.

[Stiletto]

I am using the Nagios Check_nt client to remotely check Win2k servers. I am using the following script to get memory usage %:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$response = `/usr/local/cacti/scripts/check_nt -H $ARGV[0] -p 1248 -v MEMUSE`;
chomp $response;
($used) = ($response =~ /used: \d+.\d+ Mb \((\d+)\%\) /);

print "$used\n";

This script works fine from the command line but when I run cmd.php the output: is always blank. It has to have something to do with this line:

($used) = ($response =~ /used: \d+.\d+ Mb \((\d+)\%\) /);

which strips the response. Why would this line cause Cacti to not see the response at all?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Using Solaris 9.

one word...

environment (specifically your command line has one, cron have the same environment as you). If so, its not a solaris problem.

(check ldd of /usr/local/cacti/scripts/check_nt and see what it is linked to, then "man crle")

Thanks for the message.

# ldd check_nt
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000/lib/libc_psr.so.1


I'm not totally familiar with Solaris...so how do I check the "ldd" of cron and set them to this?

You could just add the missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your environment through perl. For example, to get a perl script that uses SNMP to run via cron, I use:

$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}="/usr/local/ssl/lib/";

This works a charm for me.
