R: R: R: check_memory does not work prou7ijijnu:perly

[David Fulton]

Three things, is check_memory a perl script and if so, have you
enabled the embedded perl interpreter, if so, you may need to disable
it for the check_memory plugin, there is some verbiage at the top of
the script that you must put in. I forget what it is and it also
depends on whether the default is to use the ePN or not. The other one
is you might need to put double quotes around the $ARG1$ and $ARG2$
and see if that helps. I have found that with certain characters the
shell gets in the way. Lastly, check and make sure that you are not
blocking the % symbol in your natios.conf. There is a list of
characters which are not allowed in shell commands. Seem to remember
that one being in there by default which caused issues with so many
plugins since a lot of them take percentages.
