Hi!
I'm proud to announce the availability of Nagios Plugins 1.4.12.
Included in this release is the --extra-opts syntax, available on all
the core C based plugins, so you can now specify extra options that
would act as if they were passed via the command line. This allows
sensitive information to be stored in configuration files away from
Nagios and in process listings. See http://nagiosplugins.org/extra-
opts for more information. Note, this is only available by setting the
configure option --enable-extra-opts, though it will be included by
default in a future release.
Credit to Thomas Guyot-Sionnest for his hard work in porting this
functionality over from the Nagios::Plugins perl module.
Speaking of which, this is a reminder that the Nagios::Plugin perl
module is also included in this package. You need to run ./configure
with --enable-perl-modules to include the perl libraries.
This release contains lots of fixes and minor enhancements from Holger
Weiss and Matthias Eble.
