Check_log2.pl is expecting to be in/run from the libexec directory with
the other plugins. Move it there and you won't need this line.

1) Always run your tests as the nagios user.

2) They're harmless notices sent to STDERR, not STDOUT so nagios
wouldn't ever seen them but you shouldn't be seeing them either with an
unmodified plugin.

3) What version of the plugins are you using? I don't see these with 1.4
--

[nagios at noctools libexec]$ ./check_log2.pl -l /var/log/messages -s
/tmp/seekfile -p Error
OK - No matches found.

4) Did you modify the shebang line in the script to turn on syntax
checks (i.e. #!/usr/bin/perl -cw). I can reproduce your results if I do
that --

[nagios at noctools libexec]$ head -1 ./check_log2.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl -cw

[nagios at noctools libexec]$ ./check_log2.pl -l /var/log/messages -s
/tmp/seekfile -p Error
Name "main::blocks" used only once: possible typo at ./check_log2.pl

111.

111.
Name "main::dev" used only once: possible typo at ./check_log2.pl line
111.

line 111.

./check_log2.pl syntax OK
