This plugin executes a given command and greps for spedified patterns in the output. It uses perl regex for matching.
Usage: check_execgrep.pl --help

[--parameter String]

Options:
--help
Print detailed this screen
--version

--contains YES|NO
Defines if the command output must or must not contain
the patterns defined in warning and critical (Default: YES)
--warning REGEX
Regex to search for in command output for warning.
--critical REGEX

--command STRING
Command to be executed.

Parameter for the command.

Examples:
check_execgrep.pl --contains YES --warning "d{2}" --critical 333 --command /bin/bla

This returns a warning if the output of /bin/bla contains two
digist (e.g. 23 or 01) and a critical if 333 was found.

check_execgrep.pl --contains NO --warning 22 --critical b --command /bin/cat --parameter /etc/services

critical if NO "b" was found in output.
