Are there any end of lines in 'intdesc' or exclamation points?

I can ask one of our core devs tomorrow. Have you noticed truncation, or does it just fail?

There does not appear to be a size restriction on this. If you can I would suggest sticking under the 1024 limit that is applied to most strings within nagios, but that doesn't really seem to be enforced in this case. (Note: not a dev, but did dig through the code, most importantly ./includes/objects.h that contains the customvariablemember scruct and the service struct.)
Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.
