Hi,
Thanks Andreas...I'm glad to know that somebody thought about this kind of situations. Unfortunatly this plugin does not support this kind of feature so I would like to know if it is possible to implement it in the futur version (this could avoid me to create shellscript)...
Thx again
Francois

The advantage is that therefore, we can manage differently these knids of errors through notifications (for instance in order to not send SMS but only mails).

Some plugins accept '-T Unknown' (or --on-timeout=UNKNOWN) to do just
that. I'm not sure if check_nwstat is among them, but it's definitely
worth checking.
