Why aren't these workable?
check_http --help
-w, --warning=DOUBLE
Response time to result in warning status (seconds)
-c, --critical=DOUBLE
Response time to result in critical status (seconds)
Or, you already have a wrapper that's intercepting the check_http
results, doing something with them and sending them on to nagios. Why
not just include that rather simple logic in the wrapper? If the time is
too long, return CRITICAL to nagios along with appropriate output
otherwise return the results reported by check_http.
