Detected wrong situation for service down. Added exited service state in case loop.

• Finding is in service not running in state "Active: active (exited)" and the actual version of script returns "exit 0". So is not detecting a real service down and is identified as active (exit 0)

root@emonpi(rw):nagios# ./libexec/check_service -o linux -s emonhub Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-03-27 08:50:07 CET; 4 weeks 2 days ago root@emonpi(rw):nagios# echo $? 0

>>>		STATUS_MSG:    Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-03-27 08:50:07 CET; 4 weeks 2 days ago

• Some varaibles asignation found are:

Check the status of a service

STATUS_MSG=$(eval "$SERVICETOOL" 2>&1) EXIT_CODE=$?

>>>		SERVICETOOL: systemctl status emonhub | grep -i Active
>>>		STATUS_MSG:    Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-03-27 08:50:07 CET; 4 weeks 2 days ago
>>>		EXIT_CODE: 0

• The mistake is this because run 'exit 0' and is not evaluating a real service down status. Comment following line:

#[ $TRUST_EXIT_CODE -eq 1 ] && [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 0 ] && echo "$STATUS_MSG" && exit $OK

• And inside of case loop (case $STATUS_MSG in) include this states:

running|activerunning*) echo "$STATUS_MSG" exit $OK ;;

activeexited*) echo "$STATUS_MSG" exit $CRITICAL ;;

• After implement changes and run again the command, now shows service down with CRITICAL status (exit 2)

root@emonpi(rw):nagios# ./libexec/check_service_test2 -o linux -s emonhub Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-03-27 08:50:07 CET; 4 weeks 2 days ago root@emonpi(rw):nagios# echo $? 2

If you are agree with my solution, please would you generate a new version with the proposed corrections and as a comment in the header something similar to the following:

Sorry, Copy / paste does has been deleted some code. Pasted / attached

running|activerunning*) echo "$STATUS_MSG" exit $OK ;;
