Thanks, that's very helpful.

When nagios runs a plugin, the environment is significantly reduced  
for security. Things like $PATH and other variables are not the same  
as when executed from a shell.

This plugin is just a wrapper for the 'sipsak' command. I see in the  
code that it should be including a subset of the output from the  
sipsak command where it's printing (...<some sipsak output>). It  
appears that the sipsak command isn't running correctly.

A couple pointers --

- the plugin accepts multiple -v arguments for verbose output. Add 2  
to the end of your command_line and capture the output to a file: '-v - 
v -v >/tmp/log.err 2>&1'
- In the code, the path to sipsak isn't specified. If this is not  
located in /bin or /sbin, it probably isn't being found. Try changing --

	  @Sipsak_Cmd = qw(sipsak --nagios-code -v);
	to
	  @Sipsak_Cmd = qw(/path/to/sipsak --nagios-code -v);
