Problem with "Remote commands".

[steve]

Hy guys.
I have a problem with the execution of the remote actions. In particular I cannot restart the service ssh. I precise that the user zabbix has all privileges to restart the service (I have tried as user zabbix from command line) and that I have modified the configuration file “/etc/sudoers” inserting the line
“zabbix ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL”.

These are the parts in the log files of zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd (Debug Level =4) relative to the execution of the remote command.

Is there someone that knows what is the problem?
Thanks for the help.

What is your version of ZABBIX?

[steve]

I have installed version 1.1.3 of Zabbix on Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS.

[Alexei]

Thanks for the details. It seems that the script was executed while ZABBIX server didn't accept the return value '1' and changed status of the item to UNSUPPORTED. It seems to be a bug.

I have another question for you, Alexei. If the script has been executed, why the service has not been restarted?
And if it is a bug, it means that i can't use remote actions to restart any service or I can't restart only sshd?
Is it possible to use a custom script that returns a value that zabbix is able to understand? If yes could you tell where i can find it?
Thanks.
