[Nagiosplug-devel] [PATCH/PULL] Various improvements and fixes for check_pgsql

[Sebastian Harl]

Hi,

while going through my nagios-plugins repo, I noticed the following
branch still sitting there ;-)

While the query support is a bit redundant with the check_dbi plugin by
now, I still think that could also be included in check_pgsql (after all
the code is already there, it's not that complex/much and I'm willing to
support it ;-)). Comments, flames, whatever about that would be much
appreciated, though. If people disagree, I'll extract the other patches.

The branch is now available at
<https://github.com/tokkee/nagios-plugins/tree/sh/check_pgsql>.

Any comments, feedback?

Cheers,
Sebastian
