<p class="MsoNormal">I’m using your check_apt plugin and I’m facing some difficulties in setting a limit for warning and critical on available updates. I’m using Nagios Core to monitor a remote Ubuntu host, and when using check_apt without any switches I get
annoying alerts when there are eg. two packages to be updated. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The plugin is situated on a remote host and I’m calling it using NRPE. Here is a snippet of NRPE’s configuration file, in which I define the check command for check_apt:<o:p></o:p></p>
