check_load weird behavior in French config [solution]

[Serveur-Faucon Surveillance]

After some research, here is the solution.

The problem : nrpe will load but gives some weird result on the nagios console. For example : a load of 0 is critical.

Caracteristics : You have installed in French or some parts of Linux is in French (or other language)

Add this...

In the start up script.

#!/bin/sh
#

[...]

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        # Start daemons

# Modification du code de la langue pour NRPE
LANG=fr_CA
LC_CTYPE=fr_CA
LC_NUMERIC=fr_CA
LC_TIME=fr_CA
LC_COLLATE=fr_CA
LC_MONETARY=fr_CA
LC_MESSAGES=fr_CA
LC_PAPER=fr_CA
LC_NAME=fr_CA
LC_ADDRESS=fr_CA
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_CA
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_CA
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_CA
LC_ALL=fr_CA
export LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL

[...]

start nrpe
eval `cat locale.save`

or put nrpe last in startup sequence so as to emulate the re-start 
environment as close as possible.
