Command line format for external notification.

[aait at free.fr]

Hi,

I actually work on Nagios 1.3 and want to perform an external
notification via a perl script I developped. This script takes 5
parametres ($HOSTNAME, $OUTPUT,....). I have a problem to make the
$OUTPUT$ variable to be seen as one variable for my script.

Example:

define command{
   command_name    notify-by-xmlrpc
   command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/myagent/notification/my_script
$HOSTNAME$ CRITICAL $OUTPUT$ $SERVICEDESC$ $DATETIME$
   }

The problem is $OUTPUT$ because it's a string and each word of this
string is seen as on parameter. If this variable is "The service is
down" my script will do this association:
OUTPUT=The
SERVICEDESC=service
DATETIME=is

I have tested thess command lines without success:
command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/myagent/notification/my_script
$HOSTNAME$ CRITICAL "$OUTPUT$" $SERVICEDESC$ $DATETIME$
command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/myagent/notification/my_script
!$HOSTNAME$! CRITICAL !$OUTPUT$! !$SERVICEDESC$ ! !$DATETIME$!


Finally, I had not found anything about my concern in the official
documentation.


Regards.
