Calling notification command removes '>' from SERVICEOUTPUT

[ArnoudW]

Nagios Core v3.2.1

Nagios removes '>'-sign when sending notification. See these entries from nagios log:

Code: Select all

[1357957719] SERVICE ALERT: serverx.example.com;check_megaraid_sas;WARNING;HARD;3;WARNING: Warnings=[(Predictive failure errors > 0)]
...
[1357968524] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: oncall;serverx.example.com;check_megaraid_sas;WARNING;notify-service-by-email;WARNING: Warnings=[(Predictive failure errors  0)]

suddenly the '>'-sign between 'Predictive failure errors' and '0' has been removed when calling the notify command.

Why?
Can this be prevented?
