Its up to the script you're actually running to exit with the proper codes.  
For testing, change your script to just do an exit(4)  and see if IM sees it as 
a warning.
Depending on the script, you might have to make the timeout a little higher to 
make sure it runs, the default is 3 seconds.  My commandline probe (which runs 
a CLI php script, which in tern runs digitemp to check the temps on 3 or 4 
sensors via 1wire bus) takes about 3 or 4 seconds to run.  I believe IM's 
default timeout is 3 seconds.

I have no idea of your past messages, as I'm at home, and cannot lookup what 
you posted a few weeks ago, but since noone has answered in about 6 hours, I 
figured I'd toss out a small suggestion.

Subject: [IM-Talk] event severities with a custom command line probe
 
List members,

About two weeks ago Bill Fisher answered my question about the different event 
severities.  Based on the way I understood his response I had our IM-pro create 
a custom command line probe based on the probe provided by Dartware.

We replaced the exit code definitions with an expanded section.  The goal is to 
allow separation between the network/OS caused errors and the errors reported 
about the application.  I'm not part of the network or OS teams and do not need 
to be alerted about things I can not fix.

This is the exit code section in our probe:
<command-exit> 
critical:${EXIT_CODE}=6 
alarm:${EXIT_CODE}=5 
warning:${EXIT_CODE}=4 
okay:${EXIT_CODE}=3 
down:${EXIT_CODE}=2 
down:${EXIT_CODE}=1 
up:${EXIT_CODE}=0 
</command-exit> 

It is not working as expected.  The only exit codes it recognizes is 0 and 1.  
Everything else causes a ? icon.  We tried removing the double definition of 
down without any improvement.

Is it possible to have the command line probe run a nagios type script, via 
nrpe, on a remote system and understand severities beyond up and down?

Thanks,
Rich
