I have several commands that look like command_line $USER1$/check_http --onredirect follow -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u <A href="http://$HOSTADDRESS$/login">http://$HOSTADDRESS$/login</A> -s \/html That all work with no problems. I would imagine that it’s having problems with two aspects of it, the unescaped / and the fact that there are spaces. Putting it in quotes would fix both of those as would ‘-e HTTP\/1.0\ 200\ OK’ I would expect. -- Marc From: Danny Wigmans [<A href="mailto:danny.wigmans@solcorp.com">mailto:danny.wigmans@solcorp.com</A>] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 4:51 PM To: 'David Olbersen'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Hi David, Thanks !! It works like a charm !! Does this go for other privileged chars as well?? Might solve a lot of headaches is this is put in the documentation ?? As far as I remember, the Nagios docs mention double quotes.....

Danny, Put it in single-quotes. An example from my configuration command_line $USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -u '<A href="http://www.yahoo.com'">http://www.yahoo.com'</A> -e 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK' -w 10 -c 20 David Olbersen iGuard Engineer St. Bernard Software 15015 Avenue of Sciences San Diego, CA 92127 x2152 -----Original Message----- From: Danny Wigmans [<A href="mailto:danny.wigmans@solcorp.com">mailto:danny.wigmans@solcorp.com</A>] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 1:17 PM To: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Using double slashes ? Hi, I am trying to get the check_http plug-in to work, so I can check a proxy server. The command I try to use is: ./check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u <A href="http://www.yahoo.com">http://www.yahoo.com</A> -e HTTP/1.1 200 Though the command works fine from the bash shell on RH 9 under the nagios user account, it doesn't work through the scripts... When executing from the shell I get a HTTP Ok response, from the scripts it returns a HTTP CRITICAL. I am using nagios-1.1 and nagios-plugins-1.3.1 (check_http (1.24.2.4) from SourceForge... My hunch is that the // in the URL are not taken literal but are being interpreted by nagios. Anyone any ideas, or a possible workaround? I have already tried using \ as escape char, using %47%47, creating a macro in resources.cfg, double quoting the URL, and passing it from services to a $ARG1$ macro in my check_command, and combinations of these. Nothing worked so far.. Ideas anyone??? Thanks, Danny My files look as follows: checkcommands.cfg: define command{ command_name check_http_proxy command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u <A href="http://www.yahoo.com">http://www.yahoo.com</A> -e HTTP/1.1 200 } services.cfg: define service { name generic-service-template active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 2 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c register 0 } define service { name http-proxy-template service_description HTTP Proxy check_command check_http_proxy use generic-service-template register 0 } define service { hostgroup_name proxy-srv contact_groups admin-group use http-proxy-template } This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared.
