When you say 'return' a number, do you mean 'print' a number or
actually 'return' it? Nagios keys off of exit codes and not
printed data. To pluginize your script you'd need to have it
accept arguments saying what a warning and criticla threshold
are, and exit with the appropriate code.

Or, if you can't modify the script, you could write a wrapper
plugin that does the equivalent function.
