NSCP Settings Escape Character

[TechnicallyTrue]

Interesting... It does work from command prompt, but not from powershell. I wonder if I have to escape all the quotation marks in powershell using the ` character as well.
I'll try that and get back to you.

Probably you will have some other powershell escaping to do.

Best of luck!

Sure enough, the quotation marks needed to be escaped twice, once for nscp settings and once for powershell. The final command reads as follows:

Code: Select all

& .\nscp settings --path `"/settings/scheduler/schedules`" --key `"Drive Space C:`" --set `"check_drivesize `"`"warn=free<10G and free<10%`"`" `"`"crit=free<5G and free<5%`"`" drive=c: show-all`"

Seems to work now. Thank you very much for your help.

Great! Glad to hear you got it working!
