NRPE problem with Nagios


Hi guys, I have the following problem:

I am using the following baSH! script that I wrote so I can check mysql parameters:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
NRTHREADS=`"/usr/bin/mysqladmin" status -ppassword | awk '{print$4}' | bc`
if [ $NRTHREADS -gt 200 ]
then
        RC="2"
        COMMENT="CRITICAL"
elif [ $NRTHREADS -gt 150 ]
then
        RC="1"
        COMMENT="WARNING"
else
        RC="0"
        COMMENT="OK"
fi
echo "SERVICE: $COMMENT, threads: $NRTHREADS threads | threads=$NRTHREADS"
if I call the script using
Code:
# ./check_mysql_threads.sh
SERVICE: OK, threads: 3 threads | threads=3
However, if I call the script from nrpe:
Code:
#./check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_mysql_threads_remote
SERVICE: OK, threads:  threads | threads=
As one can see, the service check_mysql_threads_remote is defined on my
client in the following way:
Code:
command[check_mysql_threads_remote]=[PATH]/check_mysql_threads.sh
However, it doesn't display the results as it somehow can't find mysqladmin and make a call to it eventhough I gave it the absolute path. I have other scripts on the same client that DO WORK that are built the same way making calls, I even have a script that writes to a file outside the libexec directory, using absolute paths to find where to find the commads/scripts/files it manipulates.However, for some reason the mysqladmin is a super exception. I am wondering if any of you faced the issue and how to resolve it.

Does the nagios user have the permission to run the script that you may have created as either root or a sql user?
