UserParameter don't work? Or I do it wrong :)

[lippoliv]

Hey there,
I'am really new to Zabbix.

I have 2 Servers. One "big" and one really small who's just tracking the big ones performace

Now I would like to track an running screen-process, so i Added to the big server in the zabbix_agentd.conf the line

UserParameter=screen.num[*], screen -list | grep -c $1

Then on the small server in ZAbbix I added an Item to the big server

screen.num[minecraft_server]

But it didn't work. Allways it is returning 0. I also can't choose the item, i have to type it on my own.

For Tutorial I have chosen this one : http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...ser_parameters

What did I do wrong?
Thanks for your time
