nagios-check-backup - shows hours since last backup
nagios-check-backup
[...]
This program prints the hours since the last backup. It gets
the last backup timestamp in format YYYYMMDD from the file /var/log/backup.timestamp.
As backup start time 22:10 is used for calculating the hours.
If amanda backup gives 1970-01-01 as backup date it will be treated as an
error because no full backup exists.
On any error it prints "9999".
Its primary purpose is the usage as nagios remote plugin with net-snmp. Just
add to snmpd.conf a single line like this:
- extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.66 rbackup /usr/sbin/nagios-check-backup
Any additional arguments are silently ignored and can be used as a mark
for i.e. searching a snmpwalk output with less.
The return value
is 1 on any errors. On success 0 is returned.
