Hi all,

This plugin works perfectly. Why not including the perf data posted in the previous reviews?

Regards,

Change the last rows to this to get queue statistics:


queue=`getQueue`

LABEL="| mail_queue=$queue;$warning;$critical;0;"

if [ "$queue" -ge "$critical" ]; then
echo "CRITICAL - $queue $LABEL"
exit 2
elif [ "$queue" -ge "$warning" ]; then
echo "WARNING - $queue $LABEL"
exit 1
else
echo "OK - $queue $LABEL"
exit 0
fi

My modification of check_postqueue.sh adds:
* possible to pass config_dir to postqueue
* queue size output usable for graphs
