Areca check script for Nagios

Well to do something useful with my day off I wrote a checker script for nagios which checks the state of your Areca RAID.

It is currently limited to checking volume sets on 1 controller only and when your raid does break it will only report that it has broken, not which disk actually broke.

You can get it here. It's a shell script which parses output from the cli tool. Maybe in the future I'll write something that links again Areca's API.

UPDATE : I have updated the script to work correctly when the raid array degrades. I was checking output of 'vsf info' but should be checking 'rsf info' as 'vsf info' will keep the device normal when it's degraded and only change state on a rebuild. 'rsf info' does the correct and wanted thing. Version 2 can be found here.
