Nice and clean bash script but modifications are needed

I must agree with user rrubel: considering a non initialized hot spare as a critical error is just plain wrong. So thanks go to user mtominsk for pointing out the lines of code that needed to be changed.

And just to be fair with all respect to the Nagios Plugin Developing Guideline: this check totally lacks a critical and a warning switch which would really make sense when monitoring temperatures.

So I really cannot consider this as a “good” nagios plugin, only average, because I cannnot define any limits. But it is still a good starting point for people who do not fear bash scripts.

Sadly, the author does not seem to be very active so be prepared to make your own changes to the script.

Successfully tested and used on Ubuntu 10.04.4 TLS with Nagios Core 3.2 and a Synology RS3412RPxs in Cluster-Mode.
