[Nagiosplug-help] check_mailq

[Furnish, Trever G]

You could simply make check_mailq on the remote host a wrapper around
the real check_mailq and kick it off with some logging, including maybe
even kicking it off under strace.  That way you'd be much more likely to
get clues about what's going on.  This is a good technique that applies
to many similar unix troubleshooting needs.
