Summary: check_swap warning percentage should be more than critical

Initial Comment:
In check_swap, warning and critical percentages are
expressed as percentage of swap used, so the warning
percentage should be less than the critical percentage.
(You might want to be warned when swap is 60% used, and
get a critical alarm when it's 80% used.)

However, when you try to enter a warning percentage
that's less than the critical percentage you get the
error "warning percentage should be more than critical
percentage":

> ./check_swap -w 90% -c 95%
Warning percentage should be more than critical percentage
Usage:
 check_swap [-a] -w <used_percentage>% -c
<used_percentage>%
 check_swap [-a] -w <bytes_free> -c <bytes_free>
 check_swap (-h | --help) for detailed help
 check_swap (-V | --version) for version information
> ./check_swap -w 98% -c 95%
SWAP OK: -2147483548% free (0 MB out of 0 MB)
|swap=0MB;0;0;0;0
 > ./check_swap -V
check_swap (nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1) 1.24
> uname -a
Linux XXXX 2.6.4-52-smp #1 SMP Wed Apr 7 02:11:20 UTC

(The "-2147483548% free" error is already covered in
bug request #905971.)

Earl_3, 

Thanks for the report, but I'm sure this is already fixed. Please try the 
latest snapshot at http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot and update this call 
if it is still a problem.

Set to pending as we are trying to close as many calls as possible in 
preparation for the next release.

Ton

i think this is already fixed in 1.4.0alpha2:

gingko[~]19:59:11$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -h
<snip>
Usage:
 check_swap [-av] -w <percent_free>% -c <percent_free>%
<snip>

/me grumbles that is was flip-flopped in the first place :)
