Nagios Support Forum

Hello dear developers,
I would like to report you possible bug.

BUG:
If comment charater ";" is used somewhere in the macro value
definition line is not parsed like comment but is taken like a part of
macro value.

HOW TO REPRODUCE: (my case):
In resource.cfg I have this:

$USER5$=3D10.0.0.39 ; ISP SMTP server -primary IP

In commands.cfg I have this:
define command {
command_name send-smtp
command_line sendEmail -s $USER5$
}

But what will be actually executed ("Processed notification command"
information from nagios.debug file):

sendEmail -s 10.0.0.39 ; ISP's SMTP IP -primary IP

Script sendEmail will quit on this invalid input but it's nowhere
logged that it crashed (but script do produce error message if
executed separately).

I think that is a bug because nowhere is said that in macro value
comments are not allowed.
