Summary: check_log.sh bug when log is unreadable

Initial Comment:
check_log.sh always exits with an OK status if it runs as a user that does not have permissions to read the file being examined.  The only indication of a problem goes to stderr (which nrpe discards).

It would be best to exit with an UNKNOWN status.  This can be accomplished by replacing the test for the logfile's existence with a test for readability.

I'm attaching a patch against the version of check_log.sh from nagios-plugins-1.4-beta1.

Darian,

Thanks for your patch. Made a slight adjustment so that it checks for 
existence first, then the readability, so the error message matches the 
conditions.
