nrpep plug in - how to return results

[Ranga Nathan]

But I also need to return a piece of information that will be displayed on 
the page:
E.g the following is supposed to show  the number of items in the queue.

command[check_baxp_inboundq]=echo "DISPLAY QUEUE(BAXP.AMS.RECEIVE.LOCAL) 
CURDEPTH" | runmqsc -e BAXP.AMS.QMGR | grep  CURDEPTH | sed 
"s/^.*CURDEPTH(/Item
s (/"

and it returns  the result : Items (0)

So I want to return some status as well as a piece of data just like what 
the "ping" does:
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.71 m 

Thanks

Nagios doesn't attempt to parse your output at all. Instead it
looks for the return code of the plugin. So, the last line if
your script should be something like "exit 2" for a CRITICAL
alert, or "exit 1" for a warning, or "exit 0" for an OK.
