This works well for direct calls from the shell, but Nagios's check_snmp plugin is unable in any combination to pass along the quotes to snmpget, in fact the program dies trying to do a 'popen' of the command string, using its own spopen function. The Nagios mailing list doesn't have an answer thusfar. I apologize if this is off-topic here, but is anyone here by chance using extend scripts with check_snmp? Curiously, why the quotes in the OID's anyway?
