[ale] need help with nagios plugin

[Michael H. Warfield]

I'm not totally clear on what you are doing (maybe why you aren't seeing
more help) but I can see one potential problem...

The above line will not work unless it's quoted.  The semi ';' is a
command delimiter so that's the equivalent of the the following
commands:

tengu=$r
$w
$c
0

Which I'm sure is not what you intend.

I suspect that what you are trying to do would be this:

perfdata () { tengu="$r;$w;$c;0"} 

Or maybe I'm misreading what you're trying to do.

Is which right?  The line above or the script below?
