[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios plugins , IFS

[Garrett, Matt M SITI-ITDIEEE]

Folks

Note sure if this is possible or not.

All Nagios plugins return there text with spaces in between the text fields.
Which is great to be able to read.

However my Automated logging system (Service Centre , via PEM)
Require the test to be in one line e.g have a underscore character in it

Is there are easy way to change the plugins to support different Internal Field Separators IFS


The way I have round it is to have a shell script do something like
#!/bin/ksh

# Script to just get the ssh bits we need and use IFS _ for Service Center.

SSH=`/local/nagios/libexec/check_ssh $1`
STATUS=$?
echo "$SSH " | awk '{print $2"_"$3}'
exit $STATUS

While the above works fine.
It does mean making shell scripts for each check plugin that I need to use.

Is there a better way of doing this ?

Thanks

Matt
