Re: [Nagios-devel] better error message

[Ethan G. <na...@na...>]

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?
