Return-code in POE::Compoent::Server::NRPE

[chris01]

hi!

My question is pretty specific but I am a bit desperate here since some time.

I am using POE and POE::Component::Server::NRPE to implement a Nagios NRPEd.

Its fine but I am not able to return the correct value in the command. but the text is ok.

use POE;
use POE::Component::Server::NRPE;

# test with: check_nrpe -H localhost -c test; echo $?

my $nrped = POE::Component::Server::NRPE->spawn (port => 5666);
$nrped->add_command (command => "test", program => 
sub { print STDOUT "test CRITICAL\n";
    return 2;    #### always 0???
});

$poe_kernel->run ();
return 0;

In the modules site at cpan there is some reference to return_result but I am not aware how to use it.

Maybe someone can give me a quick advise? I would like to return a value not equal to 0.

thanks a lot! cheers, chris

Edit: There might be a documentation error. It may be necessary to exit(2) from the test program rather than return it.

Original: The sub you've written above returns 2. What do you expect it to do? What unexpected thing happens instead? To where should the return value go?

[chris01]

no, exit does not help :-(

Congratulations! You've found a bug in the module. Three of us are working on it over on irc.perl.org #poe. The author is applying pull requests almost as fast as we can send them. You should see a new release on CPAN soon.

hello!

the sub return 2 but in the NRPE-response is 0. I need to set the nrpe-response-code. the response-text is set correctly (print stdout)

I am not familiar with Perl POE but as described in the cpans-site of POE::COmponent::Server::NRPE there is a fuction return_result.

but I have no idea how to use this funktion. think has something todo with POE sessions.

best regards, chris
