AW: check_command $ARGx$ with SPACE characters ?

[Freddy Frouin]

strange... I think that nagios or netsaint has always extract command
args between chars !, so if you do somthing like:

command_def		my_path_to_plugin $SOME_MACRO$ [...] "$ARG1$" '$ARG2$'

and then:

command_dec		check_my_plugin!test!test param1 param2

you could be sure that nagios or netsaint is running:

my_path_to_plugin $SOME_MACRO$ [...] "test" 'test param1 param2'

I think you need help comming from some netsaint and nagios guru ! ;)
I hope some of them will answer to you.

'will be interrested to see how this will be solved.

Freddy.
