check_backuppc - A Nagios plugin to monitor BackupPC

       Seneca Cunningham <tetragon@users.sourceforge.net>

check_backuppc  is  a nagios plugin that reports on the status of BackupPC.  By default, it monitors both
       archive and backup hosts for errors.

       /usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_backuppc -r1 -w3 -c8 -b -x otter
              Check  the status of all backup hosts except "otter".  Warn if a failed backup is older than three
              days old, return critical if a failure is older than eight days old unless there is only a  single
              failure.  In that case, warn if the single failed backup is older than eight days.
