My guess is the shell is interpreting the "%" character in some way. Try escaping it like so .. Reads/sec is \%.f " but note that sometimes you need to escape a few times, as it might be some other level in the process that needs the backslash to appear intact. Try with two or even three backslashes like so.. Reads/sec is \\\%.f " The most number of backslashes I have needed in a similar situation was five! hth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
