Negates the status of a plugin (returns OK for CRITICAL, and
vice-versa).

Usage:
 negate [-t timeout] <definition of wrapped plugin>
 negate (-h | --help) for detailed help
 negate (-V | --version) for version information

Options:
  -t, --timeout=INTEGER
    Terminate test if timeout limit is exceeded (default: 9)
     [keep this less than the plugin timeout to retain CRITICAL status]

This plugin is a wrapper to take the output of another plugin and invert
it.
If the wrapped plugin returns STATE_OK, the wrapper will return
STATE_CRITICAL.
If the wrapped plugin returns STATE_CRITICAL, the wrapper will return
STATE_OK.
Otherwise, the output state of the wrapped plugin is unchanged.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Page if service is up


Hello,

   I'd like to monitor a service on the servers and page the admins if
the service becomes available.

   In this case, the service is the netscape admin server. It shouldn't
be running all the time so I'd like to page out when it's started. It
could also be sendmail or nfs for the servers that don't perform the
service but have the service activated after patching.

   I'm basically checking here to see if there's a command I missed
before creating a wrapper which will swap the exit codes (0 for 1 and 1
for 0).

   Thanks.

Carl
