[Nagiosplug-devel] [RFC] Handling of default ini config in Nagios::Plugin

Hi

I just realized the C plugin's extra-opts was totally silent if it
couldn't find the default files, even though it dies (UNKNOWN) on
section not found.

I looked at Nagios::Plugin as a reference and this one used croak()
which returned a status of 2 (CRITICAL).

In my latest commit here I made it return UNKNOWN, though I'm wondering
if there is a better way to do it:

http://solaris.beaubien.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Nagios-Plugin-dermoth.git;a=summary

While we're at it, shall we debate on whenever the plugins should die or
ignore when they can't find their file/section? If we don't, should it
apply only on implicit files/sections (--extra-opts without arguments)
or even if section/file is specified explicitely?

Note that it's not possible to add empty sections neither
