[Nagios-devel] Any interest in Patch to Allow Escaping Characters in Check Args?
Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 1:42 pm
Gents,
My work had me create a patch for the get_raw_command_line() function in
utils.c to allow us to "escape" the "!" argument separator within check
command arguments.
I generalized it such that you can actually escape any character by
prefacing it with a backslash ('\'). So, now you can have command args
that include exclamations points as part of the argmument string.
For example:
check_command check_web!www.nagios.org!80!\!Test\!String\!!10!20
This will pass the third argument as: "!Test!String!" (sans quotes)
