[Nagiosplug-help] check_by_ssh passing wrong return code

[Craig Carlton]

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?:

SERVER:nagios root# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H TARGET - 
i /etc/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -t 15 -f -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o  
BatchMode=yes -o ChallengeResponseAuthentication=no -o  
ConnectionAttempts=3 -o ConnectTimeout=10 -C '/ngs/app/chatboxp/ 
libexec/check_ntp -H time.apple.com -w 180 -c 300 -t 15' -l USER -q
NTP CRITICAL: Offset 28876.80561 secs|offset=28876.805611s; 
180.000000;300.000000;
SERVER:nagios root# echo $?
0

Individual command works fine on the box in question:

TARGET:~ USER$ /ngs/app/chatboxp/libexec/check_ntp -H time.apple.com - 
w 180 -c 300 -t 15
NTP CRITICAL: Offset 28876.82569 secs|offset=28876.825690s; 
180.000000;300.000000;
TARGET:~ USER$ echo $?
2

check_by_ssh returns "NTP CRITICAL" however the return code is zero so  
the alarm never gets triggered.
