Ulrich,

There have been some IMHO silly changes in CTDB lately. My least 
favourite is changing the output of ctdb scriptstatus to fixed-width 
columns instead of machine-readable colon-separated data, but left a 
completely non-functional option to use a user-provided delimiter, thus 
completely breaking the nagios monitoring plugin. I complained, and 
simply said it was "as designed". I felt like replying, "so, stupidly 
designed then".

Cheers

Alex
