Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I tried running "needstart -p" from nagios-nrpe-server using
command[check_restart]=/usr/sbin/needrestart -p
My icinga dashbord then shows "UNKOWN NRPE: Unable to read output".
I expected to read "UNKOWN - This plugin needs to be run as root!".
Calling manually
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H targethost -c check_restart
on the icinga server results in
UNKOWN NRPE: Unable to read output
Calling manually "/usr/sbin/needrestart -p" as nagios user on the targethost
results in
UNKN - This plugin needs to be run as root!
being sent to STDERR and not to STDOUT.
This is an NRPE protocol implementation error.
The following patch fixes the issue:
--- needrestart-2.11.orig/needrestart

Thank you for taking care of needrestart. <3
