check_writable

Check_writable is a Nagios plugin that has received a new release! This software allows users to check if one or more directories are writable by performing several checks. These include verifying if the supplied directory is actually a directory, checking if the filesystem permissions are correct, creating a temporary file, writing random data to it, and then reading it back.

One of the most useful features of check_writable is its ability to return a critical status in case one of the tests fails. This means that users can be sure that all the necessary checks have been performed before taking further actions.

In terms of requirements, check_writable needs Perl and Data::Random to function properly. So, make sure you have these dependencies installed before running it.

In this new release, the software has received an update in the form of version.pm. This has been added to the distribution since the installer depends on it. Overall, Check_writable seems like a handy tool for those looking to ensure that their directories are indeed writable.
