As the FindBin module doesn't work with ePN, set the path to utils.pm
explicitly at build time. Keep using FindBin additionally, so that the
plugins can also be executed from the build directory.
Closes#1271.
Remove the buggy and complex awk(1) magic in "plugins-scripts/subst.in"
in favor of simple sed(1) substitutions.
The plugins in the "plugins-scripts" directory now always use the PATH
specified via "./configure --trusted-path", or the default PATH
hard-coded in "configure.ac".
Fixes#1242.
Patch to provide for a -i | --ignore-missing option. This allows files that
don't exist to be monitored for without causing an error. The use case is:
* one process periodically pushes files to an "input" queue for a second
process
* the second process, when running cleanly will "consume" (process and remove)
these files
So the conditions to meet are:
1. If the file doesn't exist, that's fine (OK)
2. If the file exists, but is less than X seconds, that's fine (OK)
3. If the file exists, but greater than X seconds, no good (CRITICAL)
Since now check_file_age doesn't permit this behavior, as a non-existent file
is considered CRITICAL.
Test case was contributed by our lovely Holger.

Closes Debian Bug #496307
This is an initial take at renaming the project to Monitoring Plugins.
It's not expected to be fully complete, and it is expected to break
things (The perl module for instance). More testing will be required
before this goes mainline.
When configuring the plugins you have the option to specify a trusted path with --with-trusted-path. This option seems to have been deprecated at some point for unknown reasons and had typically had no affect. This commit makes this option work again for those who have a desire to use it. There should be no affect on those who have not chosen to specify a trusted path.
