Hi Bryan,

The default behaviour of check_openmanage is to use HTML linebreaks when
run from Nagios, NRPE etc., and regular linebreaks in a console which
has a TTY. The reason for this is that the plugin monitors several
things, and in case of multiple alerts it's practical to display them
each on a different line.

However, since this behaviour doesn't fit everyone you can modify it
with the '--linebreak' switch. To switch to regular (\n) linebreaks:

  check_openmanage --linebreak=REG

You can also specify any string as a custom linebreak:

  check_openmanage --linebreak=' -- '

If you choose regular linebreaks, the first line will be put in the
SERVICEOUTPUT macro, while any subsequent lines will be put in the
LONGSERVICEOUTPUT macro. This is how Nagios 3.x handles multiline output
from plugins.

PS. In order for the default HTML linebreaks to work as indended in the
web frontend, you should set "escape_html_tags=0" in the Nagios config.

Cheers,
