I would expect Nagios to return -1, or 3 for "system14;UP;HARD;1;(No output!)"

Hi Michael				

thanks for your response



>...check_ping plugin is not producing any output

right - this is the standard plugin which is clearly encountering
 some kind of weird condition as the system being monitored restarts.



>...Basically, the plugin shouldn't be returning 0 unless the host
 is up.

right - 'standard plugin', anyway Nagios is creating the No output!
 message - this is why I believe it should set the state to UNKNOWN
 (or invent a new state) because it definitely causing the wrong
 notification to be sent (ie system up)

2820:                   strcpy(buffer,"(No output!)");

./base/utils.c  

486:                    strcpy(plugin_output,"(No output!)");

./base/checks.c



Unless anyone as an idea about how I can avoid the condition or
  ignore the result I probably will submit a bug report.
