Re: RDAC path checker status change messages

[Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Charlie,

We do not want to print these messages as they will be flooding
your /var/log/messages even when everything is good.

We want to print these messages only to get User's attention.

If your concern is that the last message is "down", then we should be
having a static variable and print up or ghost message only once (when
we toggle from down to up/ghost).
