Hello,

What is the point of the NO_PSQL_OPTION variable exactly ?

There is many other way to cheat check_postgres.pl about the psql version to
use. Using "PGBINDIR=/whatever/pgsql/bin /tmp/check_postgres.pl --blah" is one
amongst some others...

In my opnion this issue is not in the check_postgres scope. A simple user should
be restricted from the system itself first.

It's much easier to maintain one version of check_postgres in all monitored
servers than having corner case here and there. And as we always have corner
case anyway, we should be able to use the configuration file :)

Maybe I miss an important point about it ? Or, should I send a patch to the list ?

Thanks :)
