question about check_by_ssh

[Morris, Patrick]

  A check *cannot* return two status codes; it's just not possible.

Nagios will only respect the status code returned by your check plugin, 
and there will only be one of those.  If that plugin happens to run 
multiple scripts that return other codes, that's irrelevant; the only 
result code that matters is the one returned by your plugin.  In this 
case, after you run check_test, you can try "echo $?".  That will return 
value of the single result code that will be passed to Nagios.  Whether 
that's correct or not depends on how your plugin was written.
