Hi,
I’m using the check_mailq plugin to check the mail queue for our qmail server. I’ve done some pretty extensive troubleshooting and narrowed down the issue to the following line in the check_mailq file.
# open qmail-qstat
if ( defined $utils::PATH_TO_QMAIL_QSTAT && -x $utils::PATH_TO_QMAIL_QSTAT ) {
if (! open (MAILQ, "$utils::PATH_TO_QMAIL_QSTAT | " ) ) {
print "ERROR: could not open $utils::PATH_TO_QMAIL_QSTAT \n";
exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'};
}
This is where it receives input from the qmail-qstat script which contains the following:
[code]#!/bin/sh
WARNING: This file was auto-generated. Do not edit!
cd /var/qmail
messdirs=echo queue/mess/* | wc -w
messfiles=find queue/mess/* -print | wc -w
tododirs=echo queue/todo | wc -w
todofiles=find queue/todo -print | wc -w
echo messages in queue: expr $messfiles - $messdirs
echo messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: expr $todofiles - $tododirs[/code]
I thought it might be an issue of the cd command not working so I commented it out and put absolute paths in that script, but that didn’t change anything.
Here is the output that I receive when I try to run the check:
root:chestnut|12:11:09pm|/usr/local/libexec/nagios: ./check_mailq -w 40 -c 50 -M qmail
wc: not found
wc: not found
find: not found
wc: not found
find: not found
wc: not found
expr: not found
expr: not found
Couldn't match /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat output
Any ideas as to what’s causing it to not be able to run the first part of the command in qmail-qstat when it’s executed from the check_mailq script?
