		<description>Thanks for the quick reply. I can perform the check from the command line. I type &quot;bash check_ftp_fully username password port ipaddress&quot; (without quotes)and get successful returns. Well after I removed the LCD part of the GET command as it kept choking on it. Otherwise I get an error &quot;CRITICAL: FTP check failed when trying to list the contents of a directory&quot; if I leave the LCD part of the GET command in.

I&#039;m trying to set up the plugin in Opsview and enter my arguments just like I did from the command line: &quot;username password port site&quot; (without quotes) and am getting the error I listed above in Opsview. Works from command line now just not through Opsview. Very strange.</description>

		<description>The script expects to be given those by parameter:

USERNAME=${1}
PASSWORD=${2}
PORT=${3}
HOSTNAME=${4}

You would need something like the following in your checkcommands.cfg:

define command {
        command_name    check_ftp_fully
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ftp_fully $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $HOSTADDRESS$
}



I hope it helps.</description>

		<description>I have tested this in RedHat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Gentoo and Funtoo, but I would find it strange this to be a distribution issue. Perhaps you should check the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable before and after issuing the sudo command. You may want to use the &#039;-H&#039; sudo flag as well, in order to inherit the HOME as well.

Perhaps the following Google results are helpful to you: http://tinyurl.com/3nho4jd</description>

		<description>This doesn&#039;t appear to work for me. :-(

I&#039;m using an Ubuntu 10.04 box, and trying to &quot;sudo -uwww-data -i&quot;. I&#039;ve tried it with a fresh user (instead of a built-in) as well and still no luck.

Would you mind mentioning what OS you&#039;re running? Any ideas on how I might trouble-shoot further?</description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t Spain one of the countries on a brink of a bailout?  
Sounds like they are trying to increase revenue by limiting imports and trying to have their citizens buy locally.  By the way what is the tax rate in Spain?</description>

		<description>I used to have the same problem when I was living in Europe. At times I had to pay double the price in taxation (VAT and others) for goods such as books etc.

I really do not understand how several governments think - if they do that is. I understand that you need to tax people to make money. Fine with that. However if you have people that are buying books, wouldn&#039;t you think that this act alone will enrich your own culture or country? So why tax those in particular? If they are 2 books who cares. It is not as if you are buying in bulk, not paying tax and reselling them.

I trust that situations like this - especially for books, will make people turn into electronic delivery methods. 

Sorry to hear about that buddy. it sucks!</description>

		<description>The Spanish government is doing very profitable business in countries like Cuba and Venezuela, deftly turning a blind eye to dictatorial governments with poor to non-existent respect for human rights. Today Spain is the main purveyor of grossly overpriced riot control supplies and equipment to keep unhappy citizens &quot;at bay&quot; in Venezuela, much of this abetting is courtesy of morally indulgent characters such as Foreign Minister Moratinos and Prime Minister Rodríguez Zapatero.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Italy is not much better; when I bought €90 worth of CDs from Japan, I had custom duties over that of €50… and that included VAT _over the service of providing custom duties_… sigh!&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s wrong. There&#039;s exemption from custom duties for purchases under 150€ (transport costs excluded), so you should&#039;ve paid only (90€ + transport costs + 5.5€) * 1.2 in taxes.</description>

		<description>Indeed, unfortunately Italy is not better. Just a few days ago I ordered about €200 worth of cd and books (me too from Japan), and had to pay €65 for VAT and custom service. Also, I assure you that taxes are *really* high here too, and everyone who lives in Italy can confirm that public service is not the best possible...
The only good point is that in the last few months customs have became quite fast in checking and delivering boxes (but only if you&#039;re lucky enough not to receive a &quot;random security inspection&quot; from them).</description>

		<description>Hi thanks for your response,

Always the way though, whenever I post for help I find  the answer somewhere! It was as you suspected related to permissions and more specifically, CentOS permissions!

I needed to comment out a line in visudo

# Defaults    requiretty

		<description>Hello,

I use this plugin with NRPE as well at it works correctly for me. 

This is my line for nrpe.cfg:
&lt;code&gt;command[check_physical_link]=/usr/libexec/nagios/plugins/check_physical_link $ARG1$ $ARG2$&lt;/code&gt;

For what I can tell, you are configuring it correctly; however, I suspect that you forgot that this particular check needs to run some commands as root.

You need something like the following in your sudoers file:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool eth0
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool eth1
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool eth2
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool eth3
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool bond0
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ethtool bond1
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Check it out and let me know.</description>

		<description>Hello there, Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this plugin, it does exactly what I need! 

However, I am having issues using it and I am completely stuck in trying to fix it myself. I wonder if you can help.

The output from the plugin doesn&#039;t seem to be understood properly by check_nrpe. For instance, if I run the plugin locally on the remote server, it works fine like so:

[user@ftpserver libexec]# ./check_physical_link eth0 1000
OK: Interface eth0 link at 1000Mb/s

But if I run through NRPE using check_nrpe, I get this output

[user@ftpserver libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_physical_link
CRITICAL: Interface eth0 link at  (Expected 1000Mb/s)

My nrpe.cfg has this line in the config:

command[check_physical_link]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_physical_link eth0 1000

I am running NRPE v2.12 on CentOS 5.3.

Any help would be so appreciated!</description>

		<description>Patkos, I had been using the nVidia Quadro FX570 in my workstation at work and I suffered several X hangups per week. I never had the occasion to try the FX9xx models.

I did try the GTX275 and it worked fine, but that is an expensive card, more for gaming than anything else.</description>

		<description>If I remember correctly an article I red, the GT(X) 210-260 series are in fact &quot;tuned up&quot; FX9xxx cards. They use basically the same GPU and have some extra electronics around them for a better performance. So, if you have a higher end FX9xx (like your 9800) that should easily beat GT(X) 210, 230 and be comparable with GTX260.
I think GTX275 is the first in the GT(X) series with an updated GPU and the 400 series are on a new GPU.</description>

		<description>The only big annoyance with Funtoo is that they mask packages they feel are unstable, but often this breaks big things like Gnome.  I think Funtoo and Gentoo as well quite often break the standard install scenario unless maybe you go with Stable which is usually very old.   I think by default I should be able to get it installed, install gnome or kde.   I remember in playing with Gentoo, even installing the core packages during a fresh install would fail.  I love Gen(Fun)too, but too many headaches.</description>

This only happened in my laptop and not always (it was a very random event, I never discovered a possible cause).</description>

		<description>If you have a look at the code, you will see that the check requires two arguments to work properly &lt;em&gt;(INTERFACE=${1}&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;LINK_SPEED=${2}&lt;/em&gt;).The first argument is the interface that you want to monitor and the second argument is the expected link speed in Mbps.

For example, if you want to monitor the interface &lt;em&gt;eth0&lt;/em&gt; and you expect a link speed of &lt;em&gt;100Mbps&lt;/em&gt;, you will configure the check as follows:

&lt;code&gt;check_physical_link eth0 100&lt;/code&gt;

If you are doing remote checks with NRPE, you can configure your &lt;em&gt;checkcommands.cfg&lt;/em&gt; (where nagios is running) as you can see below (remember to replace &lt;em&gt;$_HOSTNRPE_ADDR$&lt;/em&gt; with whatever is appropriate in your configuration):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
define command{
    command_name  check_physical_link
    command_line  $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $_HOSTNRPE_ADDR$ \
                         -c &quot;check_physical_link!$ARG1$!$ARG2$&quot;
}
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apart from that, you will also need an entry line in your &lt;em&gt;nrpe.cfg&lt;/em&gt; in the destination machine. Have a look at the following document that explains this perfectly: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf</description>

		<description>i am new to Nagios, please inform commands to run check_physical_link plug-in. Ethtool has already been installed...thanks in advance</description>

		<description>Thank you for the information. That kernel version is currently pretty recent and the check would not work on older systems. Anyhow, I like your idea and I will look forward to implement it for kernels &gt;=2.6.33.</description>

		<description>instead of ethtool you can use features available in kernel &gt;=2.6.33:
cat /sys/class/net/$INTERFACE/carrier
cat /sys/class/net/$INTERFACE/speed
cat /sys/class/net/$INTERFACE/duplex</description>
