Package: monitoring-plugins-common
Version: 2.3.3-5+deb12u2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The command check_flexlm from montoring-plugins-standard is useless
because it relies on the setting PATH_TO_LMSTAT from
monitoring-plugins-common, which is unfortunately empty. AFAIK, no Debian 
package provides lmstat. So I suggest setting PATH_TO_LMSTAT to 
/usr/local/bin/lmstat so that somebody who wants to use the plugin can 
provide a symbolic link under /usr/local/bin/lmstat or place the exectutable 
right there. Even if there were a debian package that provided lmstat, the 
mechanism would still allow to make things work... Thanks for considering my 
suggesion. Here is my patch:
