[Nagios-devel] long_plugin_output problems?

[Guest]

Is it right the way nagios 3.2.0 is escaping the strinf for the
long_plugin_output?
It is strange to me the way it is doing. Bellow is the output from
nrpe escaped by nagios in a check.

Tks.

configured the daemon to associate a specific plugin command\\\\nwith
the [command] option you are specifying here. Upon receipt of
the\\\\n[command] argument, the NRPE daemon will run the appropriate

locally.\\\\n\\\\n
