[Nagiosplug-devel] check_udp

[Ton Voon]

I'm stumped!

I'm trying to get check_udp to work, but I'm admitting defeat. Can  
anyone else take a shot at fixing it? I want the plugins/t/ 
check_udp.t tests to pass (the tests maybe incorrect) before I  
release 1.4.3.

It looks like there is support for udp in check_tcp, although plugins/ 
Makefile.am currently compiles check_udp.c. I can't see a reason to  
keep check_udp.c unless it makes check_tcp.c much more complicated.  
I've rm check_udp and run ln -s check_tcp check_udp to use the  
check_tcp version.

Since udp is connectionless, a check_udp -H hostname -p port is  
useless - it will always return OK. Will need the send and receive to  
work in order to prove that data is being sent and responded to.  
However, it looks like the send and receive functions do not  
currently work. It seems that you cannot use the send function, so  
you have to use the sendto function. However, I'm having trouble  
setting up the hostname and socket and how it should interact with  
np_net_connect.

Anyone willing to take a look at this? Please reply to list or  
offline if you are.
