<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> The execution in bischeck for a check command is done with a simple Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your command") where "your command" in your example is: /usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/script_test.py -h hostname -w host=myHost and par=myPar Using Runtime.getRuntime().exec just take the string and try to execute it without any understanding of what a normal shell would do with quoting, piping, env variables, etc. For the exec method space is the only separator. So anything like that is up to your program to be manage, like your workaround. If you need to have a full shell context running your command or even do pipeline you can check out <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://codewhitesec.blogspot.se/2015/03/sh-or-getting-shell-environment-from.html">http://codewhitesec.blogspot.se/2015/03/sh-or-getting-shell-environment-from.html</a> to do some magic stuff in the exec() method. /Anders <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 01/11/2018 04:24 PM, Francesco Giuseppe Toffoli wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:bf14a103-1297-3a05-5ce6-1327c8ba8520@skylogic.it"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"> Hi everybody, I've the following situation. I' using a script, which is run in the <execstatement>. The script gets some parameters from the CLI: <execstatement>{"check":"/usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/script_test.py -h hostname -w host=myHost and par=myPar ", "label":"value"}</execstatement> One of the CLI parameters, (-w in this example), takes a string separated by spaces (%s). I've seen that Bischeck in this case does not run the script,raising an exception, probably does not recognize the spaces. Also surrounding the parameter with ' or escaped \" does not work: -w 'host=myHost and par=myPar' -w \"host=myHost and par=myPar\" The workaround i found is to separate the string argument with a comma, and inside the script split them by the comma and recreate the desired string. (host=myHost,and,par=myPar). Is there an easier way?
