We use send_nsca to send the requests, echo to put the requests in a 
file and tail of course to tail to requests to a certian amount of lines,

This is the specfific line from the script that sends the requests:
tail -n 200 
/usr/local/nagios/var/ocsp.csv|/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg -H gw.webfarm.co.nz -to 60

It fails when the file is larger than a certian amount and the send_nsca 
program timesout from sending the data to the server, we have avoided it 
a little by adding the -to 60 to the end of the command but it still 
fails if it goes over around 200 lines.
