Re: "if failed gid disk then alert" throws syntax error

Hello Marcus,

the "disk" is now reserved word, you need to quote it if you want to use it as 
gid. Example:

    check filesystem root_fs with path /dev/sda5
       if failed uid "root" then alert
       if failed gid "disk" then alert

Best regards,
Martin
