Um, well, the above would work pretty well :) You do realise you can write check scripts in any language you like, and Bash is as good a choice as any (as you can see from the standard library if you take a look)? You can do things a bit better by following the guidelines at http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/pluginapi.html (Icinga 1, but check scripts work the same for both) or http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/service- monitoring for Icinga 2 specifically. Just as a minor point, I would recommend making your logic a little easier to follow by rewriting your script to test for the existence of the file, instead of the non-existence: #!/bin/bash if [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]; then # reboot required (1=WARN) echo "WARNING: `cat /var/run/reboot-required`" exit 1 else # no reboot required (0=OK) echo "OK: no reboot required" exit 0 fi Hope that helps, Antony. -- The Magic Words are Squeamish Ossifrage.
