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