Hi

Few years back, I wrote Nagios plugins in pure perl. Which monitors Clearcase source code management system, NFS share avilability , etc etc.. plugins

Writing Nagios plugin is actually simple, Read their docs

Bellow is a working script for Nagios

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#check_clearcase.pl
use lib "/opt/nagios/plugins";
use NagiosUtils;
use Getopt::Long;

$SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "TIMEOUT" };

my $albd=0;
my $mvfs="";
my @allvobs;
my @umvobs;
my $mu=0;
my $vob;
my $sview;
my @ps;
my $version;
my $help;
my $TIMEOUT = 40;
my $process;

GetOptions('help|?' => \$help,'version' => \$version);

if($version)
{
        NagiosUtils::print_revision('check_clearcase.pl','1.0','Prakas
+h Kumar D','prakash.kumard@hp.com');
}

if($help)
{
        print "This plugin is used for testing the Clearcase service o
+n the specific host,\n";
        print "from where the script is executed\n\n";
        NagiosUtils::print_usage('Usage:  check_clearcase.pl
        check_clearcase.pl --help | --? | -h
        check_clearcase.pl --version | -v

        Options:
        -v, --version
          Print version,Author and contact e-mail information
        -h, --help|--?
          Print the Detailed Usage options');
}

unless(@ps=`ps -ef`)
{
    print "Could not get process tree";
    exit ($ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'});
}

foreach $process(@ps)
{
    # checking for albd server
    if($process =~/albd_server/)

        $albd=1;
        last;
    }
}

if ($albd == 0)
{
    print "albd_server is Not Running";
    exit ($ERRORS{'CRITICAL'});
}

        }
        else
