How to put a crriage retrun in a zabbix_sender character value

[themons]

Hello,

We use zabbix_sender and I would like to have a carriage return in the value sended to zabbix server.

for the moment what I have test and working its this :

#!/bin/sh

test_val=`ls -ltr /opt/`
zabbix_sender -zzabbix -sTEST -ktest -o"$test_val"

In this case I have in the history the same output as I do in the shell

I have also test this one but it doesn't work:

 zzabbix_sender -zzabbix -sTEST -ktest -o"$test_val" -o"Hello \n test <br /> test char(13) \r test 123 \r\n 7987645 <br> 7897651 ^M 798"

Everything is on one line in history. Can you help me

Thanks

i'm not completely sure i understood the request, but maybe you want

 echo -e "some\ntext\nin\nmultiple\nlines"

Oups there is just a mistake in my copy past ;-)

correct command

#zabbix_sender -zzabbix -sTEST -ktest -o"My value will be send with multiples lines \n New line"

Thats right but if its possible I would like to do something like this but without echo -e.

you could try replacing \n with $'\n' (if using bash), although i'll admit i have no idea whether it will expand as expected

It works fine with this one

#zabbix_sender -zzabbix -sTEST -ktest -o"Hello"$'\n'"new line"

But If I want to do this I recive only the first line

#!/bin/sh

test_val="Hello"$'\n'"new line"

zabbix_sender -zzabbix -sTEST -ktest -o$test_val

[richlv]

you seem to be omitting quoting for some reason.
why not -o"$test_val" ?

YES IT WORKS

Thanks a lot
