I too think the fix should be done once and for all in the plugins,
however the LC_ALL solution fixed the problem for me.
Here's what I've got :
--- CUT ---
servmediup:~# printenv |grep LC_
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
servmediup:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 134.59.53.14 -w 10,15% -c
15,20%
/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 134.59.53.14
CRITIQUE - Impossible d'interpréter le réponse de la commande ping
servmediup:~# export LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
servmediup:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 134.59.53.14 -w 10,15% -c
15,20%
/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 134.59.53.14
CRITIQUE - Impossible d'interpréter le réponse de la commande ping
servmediup:~# export LC_ALL=POSIX
servmediup:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 134.59.53.14 -w 10,15% -c
15,20%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.29 ms
servmediup:~#
--- CUT ---
the lines beginning with "CRITIQUE" are the error message translated
into French. I guess the original is something like :
"CRITICAL - Impossible to parse the answer of the ping command"
hoping this helps
