Ben, running the command from shell the result is the same. I'm gonna check = with nagios-plugins developers. I'm having problems with the graphs: All the graphs I'm obtaining are similar to this one attached. It looks = so odd. What could be wrong? Another question is regarding check_tcp, that besides the odd characters brings perfdata but the graphs are empty (Sample Points: 0).
