Hello Monty,

The check-read-only option is there to allow pt-heartbeat to continue running (waiting) if the read_only restriction is temporarily set and later removed.
If pt-heartbeat is initiated while read_only is set AND the heartbeat table isn't already created and initialized AND the user hasn't super privilege, it can't do it's job and should not begin to run.
Maybe clearer error messages, and perhaps documentation of this behavior is in order.

Regards,
Frank
