Hi Steve
Thanks for all your help, i followed your answers and found on that nagios was
being run as user nagios....and if i executed the last command it asked for a
password [i tried nagios password,root password etc] but it did not work..it the
end i opened nagios.cfg and changed the NAGIOS_USER to root and changed the
ownership permissons on the script also to root..I now get the correct status on
the Nagios interface..
thanks for all your help - Sriram
) What PATH does the script have when run by the Nagios process?
) Are there any permissions issues on the directories in the path to the
script?
Not having ever run Nagios, I'm shooting from the hip a bit. I'm
guessing
these commands may shed some light:
) Get the username running Nagios.
ps -aef | grep --ignore-case nagios
) What output do you get from a command like:
cd /tmp/
sudo -u <username-running-Nagios> <full-path-of-script>

Hi Steve
I tried your script :
STATUS=$(sudo asterisk -rnx "pri show span 1"\
| awk '/Status/ {print $3}'\
)
if [ "Up," == "${STATUS}" ]
then echo "PRI UP"
exit 0
else echo "PRI DOWN"
exit 2
fi
but still i get PRI down in the Nagios web interface while if i execute this
command from command line i get PRI UP...i m really going mad..did a clean
install again but still same problem.. Iv;e also given permission of 777 to the
script and saved it under /usr/local/nagios and given the same path in
commands.cfg under objects folder of /usr/local/nagios/etc ... can anyone please
help me out ?
Thanks Sriram

The following line in /etc/sudoers should do the trick. nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL This, unfortunately, will allow the nagios user (or anybody who hacks into nagios) to execute any command as root, but it is safer than running nagios as root. Sudo has the facility to allow a user to execute a single command as another user, I just don't know the syntax off the top of my head. Google is your friend... Something like: nagios ALL=(user-running-asterisk) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/asterisk should get you close.
