R: check_udp error message

[Marco Borsani]

Ok, but what can I "send" and "receive" to/from the host?

I also tried old version of check_udp (that does not need any string), but I
read :
No data was recieved from host!
No response from host on port XX

Or simply:
No response from host on port XX

I see another strange situation. 
On port 161 I can use check_snmp (work correctly), but if I use check_udp on
port 161 it does not work at all !
How can be possible ?

Regards

UDP is a connection-less protocol. The "expect" string could indeed be
optional, and we could just expect to get something at all back when we send
something, but without sending anything we won't even touch the network, so
the remote host has no idea that we're trying to talk to it and we won't
know if the port is up.

That's why "send", at least, is not optional.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror,
I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
