Negate can customize its return code based on the return code of the 
exec'ed plugin:

Usage:negate [-t timeout] [-owcu STATE] [-s] <definition of wrapped plugin>

Options:
 -h, --help
    Print detailed help screen
 -V, --version
    Print version information
 -t, --timeout=INTEGER
    Seconds before connection times out (default: 11)
    Keep timeout longer than the plugin timeout to retain CRITICAL status.
 -o, --ok=STATUS
 -w, --warning=STATUS
 -c, --critical=STATUS
 -u, --unknown=STATUS
    STATUS can be 'OK', 'WARNING', 'CRITICAL' or 'UNKNOWN' without single
    quotes. Numeric values are accepted. If nothing is specified, permutes
    OK and CRITICAL.
 -s, --substitute
    Substitute output text as well. Will only substitute text in CAPITALS

So in this case, you'd want to use `negate -w OK -o CRITICAL 
//path/to/check_ssh -checkargs/`.
