Script server and static arg_prepend with quotes

[SeanW]

Cacti 0.8.7b on Fedora 9

I have a data query I wrote that's called through the script server. In the XML file I prepend a static string that has a space in it, therefore I quote it:

Code: Select all

 <arg_prepend>|host_hostname| "Cisco H323"</arg_prepend>

The reason I do this is that the same script can serve many different collections (Cisco H323 being a collection)

When I set this up, my script stopped working when called from the script server. Some debugging showed that the "Cisco H323" is being changed to two arguments:

"Cisco
and
H323"

When called outside the script server, either from the command line or a verbose query from the device screen, the script works fine.

On full debugging:

Code: Select all

09/05/2008 01:10:24 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] DEBUG: INC: '/usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_callmanager.php' FUNC: 'ss_callmanager' PARMS: 'X.X.80.17 "Cisco H323" get CallsInProgress X.X.80.22'
09/05/2008 01:10:24 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[340] DS[11597] SS[0] SERVER: /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_callmanager.php ss_callmanager X.X.80.17 "Cisco H323" get CallsInProgress X.X.80.22, output: U

Some syslogging within my script shows the parameters are, in order

Code: Select all

X.X.80.17
"Cisco
H323"
get
CallsInProgress

As a result the parameters are off, the data doesn't work.

If I hardcode the "Cisco H323" in my script and remove the prepended value, it works.

Am I passing the string incorrectly? Is there a better way? Is this a bug?

Thanks
