check_ifstatus timeout problem

[Cook, Garry]

Using check_ifstatus v.1.3 I'm seeing timeouts from some of my routers.
The error reported is:

ERROR: No snmp response from 10.1.222.1. (alarm timeout)

My question is this, how do I increase the timeout value for this
plugin?

As a temporary workaround I've commented out the timeout code
completely:

# Just in case of problems, let's not hang Nagios

#$SIG{'ALRM'} = sub {
#     print ("ERROR: No snmp response from $hostname (alarm
timeout)\n");
#     exit $ERRORS{"UNKNOWN"};
#};
#alarm($TIMEOUT);

Although I'm guessing that this was added for good reason and should
probably be left in.
