Hi, I have several shell-scripts running as service checks; what's the best way to get perfdata out of them? (mostly execution times)
Example: Check DNS calling dig from a shell script = how much time was spent by dig command.
Maybe a C wrapper? using the time command? Any experiences about this? Thanks
