Code: Select all

./check_logfiles --logfile=/tmp/testlog --criticalpattern 'FAILURE'

Makes no difference:

-bash-4.2# ./check_logfiles --logfile=/tmp/testlog --warningpattern 'FAILURE'
OK - no errors or warnings|'default_lines'=0 'default_warnings'=0 'default_criticals'=0 'default_unknowns'=0
-bash-4.2# ./check_logfiles --logfile=/tmp/testlog --criticalpattern 'FAILURE'
OK - no errors or warnings|'default_lines'=0 'default_warnings'=0 'default_criticals'=0 'default_unknowns'=0

I tried this like you did but could not make it work either.
