Description

From doing work on the test for the nagios plugin I faced with the fact that the path validation expects the file to actually exist, however the semantics of this validation (even if useful for most of the current plugins) is not clear.

I propose to introduce a new validation that has this same semantics, while having path only as a validation of a real system path.
