SNMP Printer Check

great plugin - 3 little changes

byharmscon, May 17, 2011

Works well for 3 different brand network printers.
I had to make the following changes to get the plugin to run:
1. dos2unix
2. set bash as shell
3.put quotes around MARKER_COLOR to eliminate grep error messages
4.new line after here doc terminator

$ diff -b ../../Downloads/firefox/check_snmp_printer_args.sh /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer_args.sh
1c1
#!/bin/bash
495a496
> CURRENT_STATUS=0

if $(echo "$MARKER_NAME" | grep -vqi "$MARKER_COLOR"); then

Owner's reply

#1 should not be needed with the latest versions of the plugin, but yes I have received a few complaints about dos2unix before. That's what happens when I don't have a Linux workstation at my company :)

#2 is needed for Ubuntu machines, yes. All other distros use BASH or an interpreter that works with the plugin.

#3 should be fixed already in the latest version of the plugin.

I will have to investigate #4 but have not heard other complains about this.
