Is that all the script ?

Perhaps this is a stupid question but were are the values of $ps1status
and $ps2status being set ?

FWIW, 'No output' is almost always some fault in the script or the
script environment (the Nagios user is unlikely to have the same
permissions as your shell.

If in doubt, compile another copy of Nagios with the service check debug
configure option (see Debugging in the Docs) and run it from the
foreground (with your production config or a stripped down one) or try
the mini_epn in the contrib directory.

Last resort is standard script/CGI debugging techniques: have the script
ouput state ad nauseum.

Yours sincerely.
