Help with Remote Commands

[dav_man]

I searched for threads with solutions but I'm not having any luck...

I have set up the following test scenario where I check for SSH running when I manually stop SSH, Zabbix does its thing and emails the right people then attempts to run a remote command to restart the SSH service. I have done the following in the sudoers file (very liberal rights):

zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Then I made sure I had the right command in zabbix for the action:

ServerName:sudo /etc/rc.d/sshd restart

It is still not working and when on the host when I try to run sudo -u zabbix /etc/rc.d/sshd restart I get an error that says "cannot read proc/9711/exe permission denied.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I really want to use the remote commands.

And yes... with Debug level 4 the command is actually getting executed on the host.

So?

Does anyone have remote commands working? Restarting daemons?

run sudo -u zabbix /etc/rc.d/sshd restart

Does the user zabbix have rights to run ".../sshd restart"? get that working first before tryinf remoate commands.

Still no luck...

I decided to do a new install on a test server. As before the install went great. Sudo privledges are setup properly for user zabbix and both the sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart command and a script I made to run that command execute on the local host flawlessly while logged in as Zabbix. Here are snippets from both the server log and the agent log (below) - the error is the same for the direct call or when going through the script... Also they never show up in the action history. The Server and agent are on the same server in this exercise.

Once again, any help is appreciated... I want to use Zabbix but if the remote functionality does not work I'll have to try something else.

For calling /etc/init.d/ssh restart:

Looks Like I got it...

So I tried a few things and now it seems to work. One thing I did was go to hostnames in the config files instead of IP addresses. This exposed some messed up entries in my hosts file that I then removed. It looks good for now.

Thanks,

Make sure that the service (ie sshd) is chmodded to 755 and not 700

Hope this helps
