You should change these quotes to something more useful, like ' or " 
and make sure any special characters you pass are correctly quoted (or 
handled by your script correctly). IIRC, Nagios calls the commands you 
define using /bin/sh, and that might understand unexpected things...

Also, put qoutes around the variables. As long as you forbid any 
potentilly insecure characters in Nagios' configuration (the default, 
IIRC), " should work fine.

Again, qouting...

Sure. Quoting.
To verify this, try to enter the line you give above into the shell... 
you'll get something else than only a variable assignment.
