Hi
We monitor a number of devices and with some we use a eventhandler to restart a
service.I have a problem with a password tahta contains a $ sign, as this is
interpreted as the start of a variable under linux as expected..
In the icinga docs I read escaping a $ sign is possible with a second $ sign,
but this is not working... the complete chain of commands used to log in a
netwerkdevice:
icinga detects a device unreachable icinga calls the eventhandler (bash shell
script)After 3 retries or more the eventhandler calls a expect script with a
username / password The expect script logs in and resets a networt port.
The password containing the $ sign has to be transported along these scripts
into the expect script... What would be the way to do this?
icinga: $$ -> $ in the shell script, so the shell script interpretes the rest
as variable...
Some system stats:OpenSuSE 12.2Icinga 1.9.3 rpm including ido2dbMySQL DBHosts
Checked: 110Services Checked: 2600
(i know you shouldn't use a $ sign in passwords... but other people didn't ;) )
