The extra fields are excellent and all looks good with the exception
that the check isn't preserving line feeds or carriage returns.
All output appears on 1 line which looks a little confusing.

Good question,
It obviously would be more useful to most on a down in a crisis
situation, however that said There are good reasons e.g.
It is good to know what the output was esp if you messed up your check
then SA would report everything was fine because your criteria was not
included in the error code, unless you also have SA check if an error
was returned but even then what if the command was sytaxically correct
but not doing as you expect, also other reason are extended
diagnostics, information logging global stats, graphic represenataion
e.g.
If I set a check to test memory, cpu, disk (io, not usage) utilisation
this could be monitored over time and graphically represented.
This is a little speculative as my need is for alerts rather than
historic evidence as I am lucky enough to have superiors that have no
need for stats. We are all too busy doing actual work for that ;0)

About the 2nd suggestion; would this be only on a DOWN that it should
give that info or also on an UP?
(I would make it an option to include it, just wondering if you see this
for all statusses or only for a down one)

Hi Dirk this check is great, though could I possibly suggest as couple
or changes?
1. Expand the result parms to look for "less than <" and "greater than
>" as well as should/should not caontain.
2. Could you also have the extended error variable or variable than
seem suitable also include the returned output of the command run e.g.
I set a test check to look for high cpu usage on a multi cpu server per
cpu, each cpu is tested individually and the result would be returned as
"CPU <cpu number> under heavy load"
Is it possible using this check to output each line which matches the
criteria set in the test?
As it currently stands all I receive is a message saying:
<Server> is reporting a problem with external COM check (*NIX Generic
SSH Command Checker).
Date: 22/02/2008
Time: 10:45
Additional Info: 750 ms
Error Returned: Output contains heavy load
Instead it would be preferrable for something along these lines where
after the SA message it also included the actual output of the command
for each line that matches:
crmhost-poole is reporting a problem with external COM check (*NIX
Generic SSH Command Checker).
Date: 22/02/2008
Time: 10:45
Additional Info: 750 ms
Error Returned: Output contains heavy load:
CPU 1 is under heavy load
CPU 3 is under heavy load

Subject: [SA-list] Generic SSH command checker (COM CHECK)
A new External COM check was created for "generic" SSH commands.
It's using the same logic as the already existing diskspace and process
checker for *nix.
Have a go with it and let us know if it works fine for
you....http://beta.woodstone.nu/soft/setup_genSSHCom.exe
