[Nagios-users] check_ping

[Hammond, Robin-David%K. <mu...@da...>]

Im having an interesting time of getting nagios to work on netbsd-3 for 
the powerpc.

The closest think i can find to what I am experiencing is described here:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1947705


while everything starts up ok, the hosts lists themselves as up, the 
check_ping never terminates:

55 processes:  1 runnable, 45 sleeping, 8 stopped, 1 on processor
CPU states:  0.0% user,  100% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% 
idle
Memory: 26M Act, 4K Inact, 996K Wired, 8244K Exec, 9364K File, 180M Free
Swap: 129M Total, 129M Free

   PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE      TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
   508 nagios    10    0  2576K 1488K wait       0:09  0.00%  0.00% nagios
  2284 nagios    10    0  2576K 1488K wait       0:00  0.00%  0.00% nagios
  2841 nagios    10    0   140K  580K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% sh
   231 nagios    10    0   140K  580K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% sh
  2486 nagios     4    0   120K  680K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% ping
   235 nagios     4    0   120K  676K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% ping
  2285 nagios     2    0  2576K  984K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% nagios
   143 nagios     2    0  2576K  984K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% nagios
   234 nagios     2    0   228K  724K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% check_ping
  2903 nagios     2    0   228K  724K STOP       0:00  0.00%  0.00% check_ping

check_ping works fine from the commandline :

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 192.168.102.254 -w 3000.0,80% -c 
5000.0,100% -p 1 -t 10
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.57 ms

its returns and exists cleanly within half a second.

but when nagios calls it, ping, check_ping, sh all inturn lock.

Both Nagios and the plugs are the latest realase (2.0b4 and 1.4.2) 
respectively.


Any known fixes for this issue?

  Microsoft: Where do you want to go tomorrow?
  Linux: Where do you want to go today?
  BSD: Are you guys coming, or what?
