[Nagiosplug-devel] loading environment variables to nagios

[Matthew Litwin]

The easiest solution would be to have your nagios user load the profile of
your Oracle user. On my system, both the oracle and nagios user have bash
for their shell, so I copy oracle¹s .bashrc to nagios¹ home dir. If you are
executing your commands via nrpe, you need to precede each of your oracle
plugin commands with . ~nagios/.bashrc; in order for all those Oracle
related environment variables to be properly set.

Also, you might need to add the nagios user to whatever group your oracle
user account is in in order for the nagios user to be able to read Oracle¹s
logs and files.
