AW: check_command $ARGx$ with SPACE characters ?

[Thomas Zahari]

Hi Freddy,

thank you for the very fast answer.

I tryed it already with the ", but it also dosent work.
On the linux system we use the bash shell with SuSE 7.3.
I checked my script and it works fine with the parameter in the ' !
Could it a problem with the nagios system. That calls the external process
like

/check_fogger "1234" "'test" "param1" "param2'"

????

Regards
Thomas

Hi,

	I'm not sure to understand really why it goes like you said, yet
	did you simply try to use "$ARG2$" instead of '$ARG2$'. Maybe
	it's just a stupid suggestion, yet i'm using " char there, and
	I've no problem like this...

	Did you tryed to run you perl script like this to see what happend:
	./check_fogger 1234 'test param1 param2'

	Maybe it is just the shell which is used to start this command
	./check_fogger 1234 'test param1 param2' which do not recognize
	char ' as a char to enclose arguments... What shell is using
	the user starting nagios ?

'hope this help,		Freddy.
