I've looked into both suggestions offered so far (btw, thanks to the
both of you).
I'm running the check_rpc plugin as root, and as the nagios user, but
the result is the same.
I've also checked what the $PATH environment variable is for the nagios
user:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin
The login shell for nagios is "/bin/sh".
I tried creating a ".bash_profile" file for the nagios user and set the
$PATH variable as "PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin", but that didn't do the trick
either.
The plugin has to run as the nagios user, so I can't do anything about
that. Perhaps there is something I can change in the plugin script.
It's written in Perl, and I of course don't know anything about Perl. I
did see a few lines that look interesting though:
$ENV{'BASH_ENV'}='';
$ENV{'ENV'}='';
$ENV{'PATH'}='';
I've tried changing the last line to "$ENV{'PATH'}='/usr/sbin';", but
that didn't work. I was just fumbling around though.
Is there something obvious I'm missing or not doing?
Thanks in advance,
Ranbir
