Summary: check_ircd fails when using epn

Initial Comment:
The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:

The check_ircd plugin works just fine using the commandline using this command:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd -H localhost -p 1984

Configuring this command for nagios:
command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p '$ARG1$'

This check will return an UNKNOWN state in nagios with an error output:
"invalid port: -H"

The same happens with other constellations.
The solution i found on the web was to remove '-H' so that the command looks like:
command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p '$ARG1$'

That command works just fine, so i assume there is an error in the argument parsing logic.

You can track the bugreport and read the followup via

I seemed that check_ircd isn't epn ready. Attached you can find a patch which should fix the problem.

Thanks and kind regards, Jan.
