Re: [monit 5.25.1] Question on quote escaping

Hello Vladimir!

For example the "hardware" parameters and the network environment of a  
virtual instance are monitored by a lot of one-liners contained in  
this script:
https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/blob/master/monitoring/monit/services/01-system_script

Then in monit service config they are executed as "Command Option1 Option2"
https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/blob/master/monitoring/monit/services/01-system

So you may combine them in 1 script with a huge switch/case statement.

С уважением,
Виктор
