My bad - I should have mentioned that I had already checked that - I am using the \
standard check_http plugin. But your asking that has anyway solved the problem, \
because it jogged my mind somehow. The check_http plugin outputs dates in U.S. \
format, and this is not configurable. I had a command definition which passed the \
output of the plugin through, so what Nagios was getting back was the result code \
from sed and not from the plugin.
I've now written a little wrapper script which saves the result code and all is now \
sweetness and light.
It would be nice if check_http's date output format were configurable :-(
Kindest regards,
Niall O Broin
