Sorry folks, I thought I had checked this before sending the message, but
had done it wrong.
The issue is the difference between Unix & Windows line ends in the config
files.
Using a "\" to end a line terminated with Unix line end, Nagios correctly
treats the subsequent line as a continuation.
Unfortunately if a Windows line end (CRLF) follows the "\", Nagios does not
treat the line as a continuation.
Because of the way I use a Windows PC, almost all of my Nagios config files
have Windows not Unix line ends. Apart from this issue, I have had no
problems.
Would it be possible to adjust the code so as to allow continuations with
either type of line end?
Best wishes,
Matthew
