[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#351847: nagios-plugins: check_imap / check_simap help is incorrect

[Chris Adams]

Package: nagios-plugins
Version: 1.4-6
Severity: normal

check_imap and check_simap will print usage options with --help which
include the following:

 -w, --warning=DOUBLE
    Response time to result in warning status (seconds)
 -c, --critical=DOUBLE
    Response time to result in critical status (seconds)

If you actually try to use the long options it will print an error:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_imap: option `--warning=1' is ambiguous

If you attempt to use a floating-point number you will receive the following error:
check_imap: Warning threshold must be a positive integer

While correcting the help would be the fastest way to correct this I would
strongly recommend correcting the type if possible since the average response
time for our services is around .05 seconds and I'd like to have a record if it
goes significantly higher.
