I am using xymon 4.3.11.
Using the example shown in "man xymon",
> $XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK"I can see the status displayed as a single line in the xymon server.
Thu May 9 16:52:07 PDT 2013 Web OKI need to display multiple lines to the xymon server, with the data in the command line rather than a file. I tried,
> $XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK\n secondline"
But the status is displayed in one line instead of two in the xymon server
Thu May 9 16:52:47 PDT 2013 Web OK\n second lineWhat escape character should I use to specify new line?
Thanks P Yeung
I don't think the xymon command will do any escaping. Instead you need to pass the newline literally. Why is it you can't use a file? Knowing why you're constrained would make it easier to propose a suitable solution.
You could do something like this:
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green date Web OK
second line"
Or to make it more readable:
NL='
' # newline
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green date Web OK${NL}second line"
Or maybe this would work for you:
printf "status www,foo,com.http green date Web OK\nsecond line\n" | $XYMON
$XYMSRV "@"
Or of you don't like to use printf:
{ echo "status www,foo,com.http green date Web OK"; echo "second line\n";
} | $XYMON $XYMSRV "@"

Just put in newlines, like this:
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,for,com.http date
Web server is OK Another line kind of useful information."
Everything between the double-quotes is sent as-is. Works for me all the time.
