[Nagios-devel] Re: Bug: NSCA 2.4 on OS X 10.3

[Ric Moseley]

Yeah, I also use printf.  Echo did not work as expected for me on FreeBSD.
Here is my config. 

/usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t$return_code\t%s\n" $1 "$2" "$4" |
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/nsca/send_nsca -H 192.168.1.2 -c /usr/local/nagi
os/sbin/nsca/send_nsca.cfg

Thanks.

A note to developers. 'echo' is not portable. Use 'printf'

(See POSIX for a description of the rationale, but the long and short is
echo cannot be used portably.)

So the portable solution is like:

	printf "%s %s\n", $var1, $var2
