I have to say that nothing immediately jumps out as being obviously wrong. Things that might be relevant: - When running the command manually, you're using a shell, so the command will undergo the usual shell interpretation. When using extend, this is probably not the case. So in particular, I'd be wary of the quotes round the password. Is there a whitespace in this password? Try a password without whitespace (and omit the quotes) - Similarly, the shell knows to check the first line of the script for #! and invoke the appropriate interpreter (presumably perl). I'm not 100% convinced that extend will work the same way. Try configuring the agent using "extend mysql-slave /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/check-mysql-slave.pl .... - Is there anything in the shell environment (or other local configuration) that specifies how MySQL should connect to the database server? Try specifying the connection information explicitly within your script. Those are the only things that spring to mind at the moment.
