random character appended to NRPE output

[SCHAER Frederic]

Hi,

 

I also have this, and think this is a bug.

I reported this already to the dev list, but don’t know if someone saw mu mail.

 

Still, since I suspected this had to do with string ending, I added the following at the end of all my test scripts :

/usr/bin/printf "\0"

 

I did this because I think strings end with a zero char in C, so I thought it would be worth trying printing one manually.

This apparently solves the problem of appended chars, but this is just a workaround, I admit…

 

Cheers

Subject: [Nagios-users] random character appended to NRPE output

 

I was wondering if anyone has run into this before and the solution.  When I run nrpe I get a bunch of extra characters on the end of the output as seen here:

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H host -c check_users 
USERS OK - 2 users currently logged in |users=2;5;10;0
�����r������r�

I am running the latest version of nrpe (2.11).  It seems like an array isn't ending properly.  Is there anything else that might be helpful, like a debug log?  

Thanks alot,

Nathan
