[BlueOnyx:14988] Re: Vacation blocked by cced down

[Eric Peabody]

Here's a nagios plugin for checking cced for those that run nagios:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w -I/usr/sausalito/perl

use strict;
use lib qw( /usr/sausalito/perl );
use CCE;


my $cce = new CCE;
$cce->connectuds();
my ($oid) = $cce->find("System");
$cce->bye('SUCCESS');

if ($oid == '1') {
   print "OK";
   exit(0);
} else {
   print "OID == $oid";
   exit(2);
}
