nrpe and qouted argument

[Assaf Flatto]

Hello list

I have been working on a plugin for ipmi reading ( when i get it to work i'll share with the 
world ) , but one of my requirements is to be able to send a query for a "complex name"  like 
Planar Temp .

The script as is ipmitool  requires the sensor name to be in quotation marks  so the command is 
./check_ipmi.pl "Planar Temp" 
and the output i get is 
OK : Sensor Status : ok  Sensor Reading :25 C

the issue when i am trying to request this via nrpe  
./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x  -c check_ipmi -a "Planar Temp"

The nrpe is passing the request to the server incorrect and it is shown as 
sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; USER=xxxx ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ipmi Planar

I tried to pass the argument without quotes or with double quotes but it only passes the first part 
of the argument .

I need the quotation marks to be passed to the remote machine in the command - any way i can do 
this ? or do i need to set a "fixed " checks for each sensor i want to read ?

Thanks 

Assaf
