Nagiosplug bug # 1251096

check_ntp wasn't properly handing a bad exit status from the external programs it calls (ntpdate and ntpq), so jitter wasn't set.  Added check of $? on close and proper error output if status from the sub program call completion is non-zero.  This includes "host not found".
