nrpe and backslash

[Benoit da Costa]

Hi there !

I'm using Nagios on a linux OpenSuse 10.2 and NRPE_NT 0.8.0.2.

I created different script (batch) on Windows wich work well.
Now I scripted a file check and I have problem with backslashes (\)

So I used a simple script as follow (test.cmd) :
echo %*
exit 0

And I use check_nrpe from Suse, trying to send \ like this :
./check_nrpe -H tbm000fb4x00454 -c check_arg\!test
which returns : test

But the problem comes when I try that :
./check_nrpe -H tbm000fb4x00454 -c check_arg\!test\\this
Which returns this :
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.

And on the log :
2007-11-21 09:16:05; 2116; 4;Error: Request contained illegal metachars!
2007-11-21 09:16:05; 2116; 4;Client request was invalid, bailing out...

I suppose that as nrpe_nt is made to work on Windows, it should be a way to send a backslash, but I can't...

Is someone can help me with it ?

Best Regards,

Benoit
