The quoting is consistent across Xymon configuration files.
Well not in this case, eg in analysis.cfg: DISK "/yada bing bong" 90 95 it isn't "DISK /yada bing bong".
It's not "DISK=/yada bing bong" - there's no equals sign, so it's not the same. But in the same file, parameters that are in A=B format are quoted as "A=some string with spaces".
Same in hosts.cfg: 0.0.0.0 whatever.com.au # NAME:"What Ever" not: "NAME:What Ever".
Again, no equals sign there.
I guess we're getting into some subtleties though. And it would be nice to have the same parser/format for all the different bits of Xymon. But my point is, quoting is (in my experience) the same for all "A=B" format assignments, even if not for "A B" and "A:B" definitions.
