Command-Line Probes

Command-line probes execute a command as a command-line on supported platforms. They usually call custom executables on the target machine.

Command Line Probes

Use the Command Line probe to execute a user-written program or script to test a device. The result code returned from the program sets the device's condition. When you create a custom command line probe, you usually start with the Nagios Plugin probe.
