[Nagiosplug-devel] plugin help

[Aditya Ivaturi]

Well the if condition is not the problem I think, because when I execute 
it on command line I get exactly the result I was expecting. For e.g. this 
is one of the outputs:

OK: 12 Users Online | UsersOnline=12;0;0;

Where in fact there were only 12 users users using that system at that 
point. As far as permissions are concerned, I checked them and they all 
seem to be fine - owned by nagios and 755.
