check_ping and check_oracle_writeaccess work fine when issue

When I issue the command
check_oracle_writeaccess.sh TNSNAME USER PASSWORD TABLENAME
I get the result

OK - 1 row created, 1 row deleted

But Nagios insists that the check returned no output!

Likewise the check_ping facility

check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

from Nagios Plugins gives

/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 1 192.168.0.2
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

Does anybody know what to do or where I went wrong?

System is a CentOs (RH-FC4) with nagios 1.2

Greetings W.

are issuing the commands as user nagios or root?

Hi Luca!

[quote=“luca”]are issuing the commands as user nagios or root?

Luca[/quote]

both as root and as nagios user.
and both get the same results.
Any ideas?

I suspect you haven’t configured the .cfg files correctly.
resource.cfg
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

checkcommands.cfg
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 2
}

services.cfg
check_command check_ping!200.0,20%!500.0,60%
