User parameter returns wrong value

[saqib]

I have created custom service monitor by using "User Parameter"

In Agent config file i placed below line
UserParameter=service.status[*],/etc/init.d/$1 status > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?
Now i created Items dhcpd, radiusd , named with below keys
service.status[dhcpd]
serviice.status[radiusd]
service.status[named]
All services are running on System, so all should return Value "0". But unfortunately only dhcpd is giving value 0. radisud and named is showing value 2
I dont know whats the issue.I trun this command locally which is giving
/etc/init.d/radiusd status > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?

It return 0

I also queried from zabbix agent directly
/usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd -t service.status[radiusd]
service.status[] [t|0]
Which also return 0

However Zabbix Frontend and Debug level logs of zabbix agent is showing value 2

25455:20110218:095656.006 Requested [service.status[dhcpd]]

I am unable to check LDAP service status

I Tried multiple options.

net.tcp.service[ldap]
net.tcp.service[ldap,389]
net.tcp.service[ldap,,389]

But all of the above returned [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

I tried custom Userparameter
UserParameter=service.status[*],/etc/init.d/$1 status > /dev/null;echo $?

But it display wrong value 3 on Zabbix frontend. However return 0 if i query from local host

# zabbix_agentd -t service.status[ldap]
service.status[ldap] [t|0]

Why it is showing Inconsistant information. I wil be thankful if anybody help me

zabbix user allow to use this init scripts?

for comparison:

localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/lighttpd status > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?
4
localhost ~ # sudo -u zabbix /etc/init.d/lighttpd status > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?
1

root got '4' code, user got '1'

localhost ~ # sudo -u zabbix /etc/init.d/lighttpd status
