[Nagiosplug-devel] How to write Expect plugin

[Horvath Tamas]

Hi Sean!

Thank you your reply. I've just tried it but it did not work. And -n did not
work also.

When I start my script in the background it runs and do its work (read and
send data from/to PIX, and read and write tempfiles), but it does not exit.
And its output cannot be seen in my screen (nor send_user neither send_error
outputs).

After I run fg, script's data appears and script stops.

I think that the problem is with the terminal and I read Exploring Expect
book from cover to cover, and its Backgrounbd chapter again and again, but I
don't understand how to handle this issue.

My shell scripts work well with Nagios. I just do printf or echo and my
output appeara in Nagios Web interface as $OUTPUT$ and in PerfParse as
$PERFDATA$.

Can anyone tell me how to handle this "background" issue. (I set TERM, but
it does not solve the problem.)


Thanks in advance, Tamas!
