Caveats:

This plugin calls the asterisk executable directly, so make sure that the user
executing this script has appropriate permissions! Usually the asterisk binary
can only be run by the asterisk user or root. To grant the nagios user
permissions to execute the script, try something like the following in your
/etc/sudoers file:
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/plugins/directory/check_asterisk_odbc_connections

Then call the plugin using sudo:
/path/to/sudo check_asterisk_odbc_connections
