I expect it to be used something like this:

    check_postgres_pgagent_jobs --critical 2h --warning 4h

So it will warn for any failures in the last four hours, and error for any failures in the last 2 hours.

However, by default validate_range() rejects this, saying that warning cannot be greater than critical. So I added a param to disable that error. The only check that uses it is pgagent_jobs.

Make sense?

Thanks,

David
