I also vastly prefer it when error messages give a hint about what reconfiguration you can do to fix it, including correct syntax and googleable terms. So don't do: farblewarble too low. Instead: FarbleWarble is 1234 but need at least 5678. Edit /etc/whatever.conf and add: FarbleWarble="5678" There is a special hell for programs that talk abut how the Burble is configured incorrectly , without any mention of FarbleWarble
