Const command not found

I am setting up Nagios check_hpjd plugin, but it doesn't recognize "const" command.

I am using Nagios 4.x on a Linux server, and was setting up some network printers to monitor and decided to add check_hpjd plugin, for more detailed information, but unfortunately it started to give me:

/libexec/check_hpjd: line 1: const: command not found.

I think it is pointless to copy the whole check_hpjd plugin code here, I just copy the first line here, the system gave me error on:

const char *option_summary = "-H host [-C community]\n";

Should I define the const character somehow or how can I fix it, tried to look from several sources on web aswell, but there is very little info about it unfortunately.

Solution

  • You are using source code of that plugin, so the behavior is correct... You need use builded version, like here for Centos7/RHEL7.
