[Nagiosplug-help] check_mailq plugin

[Peter Hicks]

I seem to be having trouble with the check_mailq plugin. When executed,
I get the following results:

 ./check_mailq -w 100 -c 500 -v
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./check_mailq line 110.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./check_mailq line 110.
 | mailq = 
Use of uninitialized value in exit at ./check_mailq line 111.

I am using the 1.3.1 plugins. I tried using the plugins that are in cvs,
but I seem to have problems with this check_mailq as well. The cvs
version would be ideal, as I am running qmail. This is the output from
the cvs version:

./check_mailq -M qmail -w 100 -c 200 -v
Duplicate specification "Warning=i" for option "warning"
Duplicate specification "Critical=i" for option "critical"

Couldn't match /usr/sbin/qmail-qstat output

When looking at the source for the cvs version, I see the following,
which looks like the output of someones mailq in the code:

if ($mailq eq "sendmail") {

        ## open mailq 
        if ( defined $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ && -x $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ ) {
                if (! open (MAILQ, "$utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ | " ) ) {
                        print "ERROR: could not open $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ \n";
                        exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'};
                }
        }elsif( defined $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ){
                unless (-x $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ) {
                        print "ERROR: $utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ is not executable by (uid $>
:gid($)))\n";
                        exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'};
                }
        } else {
                print "ERROR: \$utils::PATH_TO_MAILQ is not defined\n";
                exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'};
        }

Any helpful ideas? I could really use the help of this plugin right
about now.
