Summary: 1.4.1: check_ntp logic incorrect with >1 peers

Initial Comment:
After finding a matching entry and recording the
jitter, the loop parsing the ntpq output (below) should
exit.  Otherwise, it will read the next line, that line
will not match the regex (since it is not the sys.peer
or pps.peer), and $jitter will always be set to '(not
parsed)' (which is what we see with every test).

                        # match sys.peer or pps.peer
                        if
(/^(\*|o)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z_().]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([lumb-]+)\s+([-0-9hm.]+)\s+([-0-9
.mh]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)/)
{
                                $syspeer = $2;
                                $stratum = $4;
                                $jitter = $11;
                                print "match $_ \n" if
$verbose;
                                if ($jitter > $jcrit) {
                                        print
"Jitter_crit = $11 :$jcrit\n" if ($verbose);
                                        $jitter_error =
$ERRORS{'CRITICAL'};
                                } elsif ($jitter >
$jwarn ) {
                                        print
"Jitter_warn = $11 :$jwarn\n" if ($verbose);
                                        $jitter_error =
$ERRORS{'WARNING'};
                                } else {
                                        $jitter_error =
$ERRORS{'OK'};
                                }

$verbose;

You're right. I should have beer reading more carefully.
Then what ozburgess proposed will be the way to go?

sorry pehaps I'm wrong but the goal is to select just one 
row with selected synchronization peer. That means row 
beginning with * or o only.
There is required to run ntpq with two "like" hosts to 
obtain peer adress on the row first (you get Invalid 
argument warning). ie:
ss2:~ # ntpq -p 10.10.0.11  
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   
delay   offset  jitter

1381801 does not solve the problem.
The expression
(/^(\*|o)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z_().]+)........
needs to be extended to 
(/^(\+|\*|o)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z_().]+)........
so that output like
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   
delay   offset  jitter
===========================================================

will be parsed correctly.
