Hello,
I inherited a Nagios project and I need to make changes and re-compile a customized Nagios plugin. How do I compile a single plugin. This is on a Linux machine and when I run the plugin -v it says (nagios-plugins 1.4) I looked at the plugin development html, but it didn’t seem to answer my question.
Thanks,
cd to dir containing the check_ups.c file
type
make check_ups
I tried as you said below and it give a bunch of errors. I also noticed if I take one of the current nagios plugins, do make file it works. If I change the file name and do make newfile it gets the same errors as my new plugin.
Errors:

Try make check_ups or make check_ping. If it works, then it’s your custom plugin’s problem so rewrite the code. I’m no programmer at all, but I do know, that “make check_ups” does work.
I tried “make check_ups”. That does work. Then I did “cp check_ups.c check_ups1.c” and then “make check_ups1” and it gives the same errors my custom plugin gets.
That is due to the code is looking for check_ups.c and not check_ups1.c for a file name is my guess.
