[Nagiosplug-devel] check_iftable - Submission

[Rob King]

Hey Subhendu,
    *grins* Now that I've looked at the check_ifstatus, I don't really 
see much of a difference. Sorry, when I grabbed the help message for 
check_ifstatus and I saw that it had a <PORT> option, I thought that it 
was used for checking specific ports.

    So, that's my bad. Duplication of labor, all my fault.

    Thanks for the pointer, though.
