Retrun code of 99 is out of bounds

[Kenneth.ray]

This quite simply means that when the program excuted
an error occured which Nagios could not interpret,
hence its "out of bounds" message.
Nagios is looking for return codes of 0,1,2,(3)
(not sure of the three but there is a third return code associated with
unknown errors)
So when it receives a return code other than the 4 above
it displays an error of "return code ## is out of bounds."and
goes into an "other than ok" state.
this is a good indication something is happening behind the
scenes. The best way to determine the actual  error is to execute the
plugin with the same switches as in your service check with the
same user that you excute the Nagios daemon with.
This should spit out additional information that was not
displayed when the service check ran inside of Nagios.

Again the above error is the programs way of interpreting
errors that fall outside of the realm it is accustomed to seeing.


I hope this helps..
