Problem with check_by_ssh was: RE: Problem with selfwritten Plugin

[Sand Philipp]

Hi,

I just wrote a simple Shellscript which returns a text and a exitcode 2 and executed it with check_by_ssh on two different remote server. Again, when I execute the script via command line, the return code is displayed properly. But when I execute it via Nagios, for one of the two Servers, the Status is critical, as it should be, and for the other one, it's unknown??!! 

I'm pretty irritated ...
