Hello,
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ mrtg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:
env LANG=C /bin/mrtg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ echo $?
0
The arguments doesn't matter, without LANG=C preceding the command, mrtg
fails with this message and returns zero (success) exit code.
Even with nonsenses like:
$ mrtg 23fefsd
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$ echo $?
0
In my opinion this is not correct behaviour, would it be possible to
change it to some non-zero value?
