Re: [Nagios-devel] better error message
Posted: Fri May 24, 2002 8:07 pm
I guess I was thinking of my_system(), which does log an error
message about missing scripts, but that only gets called for event
handlers, notifications, etc. I just changed the plugin output and
the warning message that gets logged for return codes of 126 and 127.
I believe that some shell returns a code of 126 if a script it
missing, so things should get caught. Fixes should be in CVS
shortly.
