Variable parameters not working.. cockpit problem?

[tball]

I’ve read all threads and docs I can find on this, and tried many suggestions but I’m still stuck. Working with the variable parameters, I’m simply trying to probe a UserParameter with a single variable. I can run on the script called in the UserParameter w/o problem on the command line and also call it from the zabbix_server item without a parameter and they both work. I must be overlooking something minor. Can someone take a look at my set up and give any thoughts? Many thanks,
Tom

Zabbix Server = Fedora 4 Zabbix v1.1beta8
Zabbix Agent = Sun v440, Solaris 9

zabbix_agentd.conf:
UserParameter=getstat[$1],/tmp/get.stat.ksh $1

I’ve also tried this:
UserParameter=getstat[*],/tmp/get.stat.ksh $1


root@srv1-> cat /tmp/get.stat.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
/opt/RICHPse/bin/se /opt/RICHPse/examples/aw.se -x -c -y | grep $1 | awk -F: '{print $2}'

root@srv1-> /tmp/get.stat.ksh Vfork
1442393
root@srv1-> echo $?
0

root@srv1-> cat /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log

For what it's worth, I found the problem. The 1.1beta3 zabbix_agentd file (dated Dec 9) has the problem. The zabbix_agentd file 1.1beta2 (dated Oct 13) is ok. These are the compiled files from the zabbix site.

This is the working .conf entry:
UserParameter=getstat[*],/tmp/get.stat.ksh $1

And this is the working script:
/opt/RICHPse/bin/se /opt/RICHPse/examples/aw.se -x -c -y | grep "$1" | awk -F: '{print $2}'

Hope this might help others.
