Optstring for getopts faulty

[Rocket78]

Hi, I had an issue because the calibwarn parameter wasn't properly recognized - as we have a leapyear and my calibration now is 366 days old which resulted in a warning. Anyways, there is a hyphen in your optstring after "T" which results in every option after "t" (lowercase) being omitted.

The hypen in the optstring allows getopts in the script to process long options, like "--calibwarn". The hypen in the getopts string, in this case, is treated just like any other letter. In getopts processing, it is handled a little differently, but I dealt with that in the script. A simple test that options after the hypen are recognized would be /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_common_ups -V

Are you using this in Icinga? Have you tried calling the script manually with the appropriate options for the offending ups?

With original optstring ("bBC:d:hH:i:I:l:L:r:R:t:T-:u:vVw:W:xXy:Y:zZ"):

./check_common_ups -H 192.168.116.254 -I 242 -d c -t 30 -T 35 -y 366
WARNING: host: usv1: APC Smart-UPS SRT 8000: WARN: calibration overdue: 366 > 365 days;| Temp=23;30;50;0 Line_Voltage=236;242;;106 Load=27;70;80;0 RunTime=32;10;8;0 Diagnostic=1;15;20;0 Calibration=366;365;400;0

Without the hyphen in the optstring ("bBC:d:hH:i:I:l:L:r:R:t:T:u:vVw:W:xXy:Y:zZ"):

./check_common_ups -H 192.168.116.254 -I 242 -d c -t 30 -T 35 -y 366

As you can see in the performance data output -T and -y are not parsed. And yes, I use icinga2. Otherwise nice and helpful script you built ;).
