check_log and check_logfiles

[jorgecab at intra.net.gt]

Thanks for your reply Gerhard, yes I meant that check_logfiles. You see I have
an application running on a linux server and I want to search the logs for a
specific error message but I only want it to raise an alarm (status change to
critical) if in a single check it finds more than five of that type of error in
that execution of the plugin. Your plugin is pretty good so if you modify it
let me know to try it out.

Thanks a lot!
