Great program!

I have installed the RHEL 6 rpm version (Version : 2.18.0) from the postgresql repository (From repo : pgdg91) and I am having a problem that unless I execute the program from the pg_hba directory it's unable to find the correct paths:

/usr/bin/check_postgres.pl -H localhost --dbuser=postgres --action disk_space ERROR: Invalid result from command "/bin/df -kP "../../pg_logs/instance1" 2>&1": /bin/df: `../../pg_logs/instance1': No such file or directory /bin/df: no file systems processed

however if I print out "$i{S}{data_directory}" the full data path is valid.

my case "/opt/postgresql/data/instance1."

So not sure what the right way of doing this is but my current workaround was to apply the following:

              add_unknown msg('diskspace-nodata');
              next;
          }
+     chdir($i{S}{data_directory});
          my ($datadir,$logdir) =
($i{S}{data_directory},$i{S}{log_directory}||'');

          if (!exists $dir{$datadir}) {

Please let me know if this is something that can be updated? Thank you-
