Hey folks,

	Actually, I wrote my own for just this sort of
situation.  I use it via check_by_ssh to monitor a mail
queue.

	It is not _good_ code, nor is it technically
correct, but it works for me.  And you're welcome to it,
if you like.

#!/usr/bin/sh

numqueued=`/bin/ls -1 /var/spool/mqueue/q* | wc -l`

# Adjust as necessary
# We go CRITICAL at 300 mesages, WARNING at 150

if [ $numqueued -ge 300 ]; then
	echo "CRITICAL: $numqueued emails in queue."
	exit 2;
fi

if [ $numqueued -ge 150 ]; then
	echo "WARNING: $numqueued emails in queue."
	exit 1;
fi

echo "OK: $numqueued emails in queue."
exit 0;
