[Zabbix-developers] zabbix_sender with exec

[Jean-Baptiste M. <jbm...@pr...>]

Hi !

I tried to execute zabbix_sender in a short C program : here is the source.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   int i;
   i = 
execl("/usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_sender","192.168.128.208","10001","Tests:trap","foo",NULL);
   printf("%d\n",i);
   return 0;
}

I compile it with gcc and then I execute it.
Here is the error I get :

Boul6m:/home/mariotte# ./trap2zabbix
Usage: zabbix_sender <Zabbix server> <port> <server:key> <value>
If no arguments are given, zabbix_sender expects list of parameters
from standard input.

It is as if I made a mistake typing the command.
But when I type it directly in the shell, no problem, I receive a "OK" 
and it is correctly transmited in Zabbix :

Boul6m:/home/mariotte# /usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_sender 
192.168.128.208 10001 Traps:trap "foo"
OK

I think the error comes from zabbix_sender, that's why I'm telling you.
Thanks for your help,

Jean-Baptiste
