Re: [Nagios-devel] better error message
Posted: Thu May 23, 2002 8:07 pm
A message gets logged whenever a return code of 127 is found. The
log file message explains that the file may be missing. I suppose
the plugin output could also be modified, but I didn't do it because
I wasn't sure if this worked across different Unices. I guess
there's no harm in modifying the output to indicate the file may be
missing as well. Does something like "Return code 127 out of bounds -
plugin may be missing" sound reasonable?
