Re: Space in path results in error

[James Alton]

My apologies, I somehow got screwed up between testing the issue and writing the e-mail. The issue isn't with the path but with the name given to the filesystem.

check filesystem James Shows with path "/mnt/user/James Shows" fails with error  "Error: syntax error 'Shows' "

I assumed it was failing on the path but it appears it fails with the filesystems name. I have also tried escaping the space and surrounding the name in quotes.

Quoting the path should work. Verified and tested with Monit 5.6. E.g.

check file x with path "/mnt/user/James Shows" ...

I run an unraid server that aggregates top level directories on harddrives into "shares", which basically act as drives. I'm trying to set Monit up to monitor the available disk space for these shares which works well for most shares. The path looks something like:

/mnt/user/apps

If the path has a space, Monit fails to start giving the error "syntax error 'Shows'

This happens when trying to add the path:

/mnt/user/James Shows

I have tried to escape the space as such:

/mnt/user/James\ Shows

I have also tried using quotes:

"/mnt/user/James Shows"

Is there any way to add a path with a space or is this a bug that needs to be resolved?
