in your misccommands.cfg replace

printf blah blah "message"

with

/bin/echo -e 'message"

note the change in quotes.

later,
dean

hi!

we just recently started using nagios 1.0b6. we use nsclient and
check_nt to monitor our windows servers.

when nsclient returns its message for a free diskspace check, it
looks like:

D:\ - total: 17.08 Gb - used: 15.53 Gb (91%) - free 1.54 Gb (9%) 

this works well for the webinterface, but when nagios sends a
notification email, the message gets truncated after "D:", and nagios
complains:

/usr/bin/printf: \ : invalid escape

is there a way around this w/o changing the code?

greetings,

rick

ps: sorry if that has been covered before. a look at the faq and a
search of the list archive didn't bring anything up.
