check_mysql_connections

May I suggest a little patch to support PNP4Nagios? I am quite new at this an I do not know how to do in a different way, so as the patch is very small, I am pasting it here. Hope it can help.

=======

Been running this plug-in for a year or two now, but didn't notice until today that it wasn't actually sourcing the utils.sh file. I had to add the full path to line 18 "source /usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.sh". With out this the status is already returned as "OK" but with the Warning, Critical, or OK text.

Now that I have that in place it works like a charm. Probably something I missed when I first started this plugin.
