Check_NTP

[Cook, Garry]

Nagios v1.1
Plugins v1.3.1

I'm attempting to use the check_ntp plugin from the command line. When
run, it gives the error 'Could not open ntpdate'. So I open up the
check_ntp script and check it out, and I find what appears to be a
placeholder 'PATH_TO_NTPDATE'. I changed this to '/usr/sbin/ntpdate' and
now when I run the command I get this error:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./check_ntp
line 179.
NTP OK: Offset -0.007811 secs

Line 179 lookl like:

If (!open (NTPDATE, "$utils::/usr/sbin/ntpdate -q $host 2>&1 |")) {

So, it appears as though the check is working now, although I am getting
an error. I'm not sure if this error will cause Nagios to report the
service as critical/not responding or something similar, but I'd like to
be able to run it without errors regardless.

I've also run into the problem when I replace the ntpq placeholder later
on in the script.

Can anyone recognize what might be wrong with line 179? 

TIA
