First of all great script. I'm running RedHat 7.5 and had a problem with the $TRUST_EXIT_CODE. The check was allways ok, even when the checked service was not running. Because of line 255:
[ $TRUST_EXIT_CODE -eq 1 ] && [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 0 ] && echo "Trust $STATUS_MSG" && exit $OK
I changed in the if section for $OS == linux line 85 from $TRUST_EXIT_CODE=1 to $TRUST_EXIT_CODE=0 and script is working as expected.
determine_service_tool() {
if [[ $OS == linux ]]; then
if command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
SERVICETOOL="systemctl status $SERVICE | grep -i Active"
LISTTOOL="systemctl"
if [ $USERNAME ]; then
SERVICETOOL="sudo -u $USERNAME systemctl status $SERVICE"
LISTTOOL="sudo -u $USERNAME systemctl"
fi
TRUST_EXIT_CODE=0 # changed from 1 to 0
Maybe this will help some one or you can fix it permenantly.
Kind regards

I can´t get this script to work when running check_nrpe from nagios server.
Only get NRPE: Unable to read output
Running script directly on server to check works fine.
Am i missing something here ?
