This plugin is a bash script which will check a windows share using the smbclient command. It will alert critical if the files matching a pattern are older then a specified amount of time or are not found. It can also warn if the files are not bigger then the specified limit.
Command Usage:

share-file-check.sh -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -W WORKGROUP -s SMBSHARE -f FILEPATH -c FILEMAXTIME -w FILESIZEMIN [-d]


Example:

$ ./share-file-check.sh -u nagios -p $PASS -W domain.com -s //fileserver/share -f '/backups/*' -c 900 -w 80000000 -d

The error is related to NEWC variable
Try to modify line 64 with this code

[[ $TDIFm -lt $FMXT ]] && CRIT="no" && ((NEWC++))

./check_file.sh: line 64: 0: command not found

when the result of the script should give me the ok result (files are newer and bigger than the arguments)...

What's the problem with this case ?

[[ $TDIFm -lt $FMXT ]] && $((NEWC++)) && CRIT='no'
[[ $SIZE -lt $FSZM ]] && WARN='yes'
