Hi,
Also, if you could please supply the full contrab entry that's being used on the live server itself to run the script every five minutes that would be good too (i.e. the entire line you see in the output of crontab -l on the live server that concerns the script in question).
One other aside: you mentioned way back in your second response that your "Linux team" thinks it's a Nagios issue. If this server is being monitored by Nagios, or if it can be monitored by Nagios, then there are nrpe or check_mk plugins that can monitor server load directly without you having to write a script of your own. If you don't know much about it, then basically nrpe and check_mk are pieces of software that can run on a server that's being montiored by Nagios to allow more complex checks than "is it up or down" to be carried out.
Whoever is responsible for the Nagios monitoring system at your site should be able to help you with that. Load monitoring is one of the most commonly-used Nagios plugins, so if you can run either nrpe or check_mk on this server that would definitely be the best way to go here, rather than rolling your own script.

nagios::plugin::performance
Nagios::Plugin::Performance(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Nagios::Plugin::Performance(3pm)
NAME
Nagios::Plugin::Performance - class for handling Nagios::Plugin performance data.
SYNOPSIS
use Nagios::Plugin::Performance use_die => 1;
# Constructor (also accepts a 'threshold' obj instead of warning/critical)
$p = Nagios::Plugin::Performance->new(
label => 'size',
value => $value,
uom => "kB",
warning => $warning,
critical => $critical,
min => $min,
max => $max,
);
# Parser
@perf = Nagios::Plugin::Performance->parse_perfstring(
"/=382MB;15264;15269;; /var=218MB;9443;9448"
)
or warn("Failed to parse perfstring");
# Accessors
for $p (@perf) {
printf "label: %s
", $p->label;
printf "value: %s
", $p->value;
printf "uom: %s
", $p->uom;
printf "warning: %s
", $p->warning;
printf "critical: %s
", $p->critical;
printf "min: %s
", $p->min;
printf "max: %s
", $p->max;
# Special accessor returning a threshold obj containing warning/critical
$threshold = $p->threshold;
}
# Perfdata output format i.e. label=value[uom];[warn];[crit];[min];[max]
print $p->perfoutput;
DESCRIPTION
Nagios::Plugin class for handling performance data. This is a public interface because it could be used by performance graphing routines,
such as nagiostat (http://nagiostat.sourceforge.net), perfparse (http://perfparse.sourceforge.net), nagiosgraph
(http://nagiosgraph.sourceforge.net) or NagiosGrapher (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NagiosGrapher.84.0.html).
Nagios::Plugin::Performance offers both a parsing interface (via parse_perfstring), for turning nagios performance output strings into
their components, and a composition interface (via new), for turning components into perfdata strings.
USE'ING THE MODULE
If you are using this module for the purposes of parsing perf data, you will probably want to set use_die => 1 at use time. This forces
&Nagios::Plugin::Functions::nagios_exit to call die() - rather than exit() - when an error occurs. This is then trappable by an eval. If
you don't set use_die, then an error in these modules will cause your script to exit
CLASS METHODS
Nagios::Plugin::Performance->new(%attributes)
Instantiates a new Nagios::Plugin::Performance object with the given attributes.
Nagios::Plugin::Performance->parse_perfstring($string)
Returns an array of Nagios::Plugin::Performance objects based on the string entered. If there is an error parsing the string - which
may consists of several sets of data - will return an array with all the successfully parsed sets.
If values are input with commas instead of periods, due to different locale settings, then it will still be parsed, but the commas will
be converted to periods.
OBJECT METHODS (ACCESSORS)
label, value, uom, warning, critical, min, max
These all return scalars. min and max are not well supported yet.
threshold
Returns a Nagios::Plugin::Threshold object holding the warning and critical ranges for this performance data (if any).
rrdlabel
Returns a string based on 'label' that is suitable for use as dataset name of an RRD i.e. munges label to be 1-19 characters long with
only characters [a-zA-Z0-9_].
This calls $self->clean_label and then truncates to 19 characters.
There is no guarantee that multiple N:P:Performance objects will have unique rrdlabels.
clean_label
Returns a "clean" label for use as a dataset name in RRD, ie, it converts characters that are not [a-zA-Z0-9_] to _.
It also converts "/" to "root" and "/{name}" to "{name}".
perfoutput
Outputs the data in Nagios::Plugin perfdata format i.e. label=value[uom];[warn];[crit];[min];[max].
