Fwd: more check_citrix nonreturning woes

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say that I think I am more 
part of the problem than the solution.

Yep. Thanks to Mr T De Blende.

No. My last letter was using a pre-release check_citrix that had that 
unfortunate characteristic.

Here is a more accurate version.

pc09011> ./check_citrix -h | head

This is the current release version. There are no _known_ problems with 
this version (despite what I said yesterday).

eg

pc09011> ./check_citrix -C metaframe -P'a'
Failed. "a" not found in list of published applications 
"blotus,Desktop,NewDesktop,StableTop,TestDesk" from master browser 
"10.0.100.23".

pc09011> ./check_citrix -C metaframe -P StableTop
Ok. Citrix master browser "10.0.100.23" reported that the published 
application "StableTop" is available.

pc09011> ./check_citrix -C metaframe -P 'StableTop,blotus'
Ok. Citrix master browser "10.0.100.23" reported that the published 
applications "StableTop,blotus" are available.

And the order of the published applications _doesn't matter_ (despite 
what I said yesterday).

Not necessary. See Mr De Blendes letter also.

The plugin works fine with my Nag-1.0/Perl 5.005_03 production ePN
system.

So to sum up, I think all you need do is change the args so that your 
crit and warn published applications are in the same string separated by 
commas.

Do _not_ include spaces in the application lists. Spaces can be part of 
a published application name so

-P'App1 , App2' is interpreted as -P'App1 ' -P'App2 '.

HTH.

Yours sincerely.
