Odd NRPE issue - variable not printing

[Morris, Patrick]

Sorry, I meant to say the NRPE user, but it's early and I'd also misread 
the original statement.  Coffee should be kicking in any time now.

Anyway, based on that, I'd guess it's failing on the "@lines = 
`$apache_tool`;" line, since it doesn't seem to be picking up anything 
at all. How is "check_apache" defined in the NRPE config?  I'm wondering 
if it's being called in a way that isn't allowing external shell commands.
