Hi, I am not used to python and I am wondering about this thing:
If I execute this from the shell: /root/mk/services.py 192.168.1.101 critical "192.168.1.101 192.168.1.101 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 14:13:02:57.06 SNMPv2- MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.789.0.13 SNMPv2- SMI::enterprises.789.0.2"cfCannotTakeover == 1 priority == critical" SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0 192.168.1.101 SNMP-COMMUNITY- MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0 "public"" I have the following cmd arguments: ['/root/mk/services.py', '192.168.1.101', 'critical', '192.168.1.101 192.168.1.101 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 14:13:02:57.06 SNMPv2- MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.789.0.13 SNMPv2- SMI::enterprises.789.0.2cfCannotTakeover', '==', '1', 'priority', '==', 'critical SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0 192.168.1.101 SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0 public'] If I execute the same thing from a bash script: #!/bin/bash TRAP='192.168.1.101 192.168.1.101 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 14:13:02:57.06 SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises. 789.0.13 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.789.0.2"cfCannotTakeover == 1 priority == critical" SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0 192.168.1.101 SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0 "public"' HOST=$(echo "$TRAP" | awk '{print $1}') SEVERITY='critical' /root/mk/services.py $HOST $SEVERITY \"$TRAP\" I get the following result: ['/root/mk/services.py', '192.168.1.101', 'critical', '"192.168.1.101', '192.168.1.101', 'SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0', '14:13:02:57.06', 'SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0', 'SNMPv2- SMI::enterprises.789.0.13', 'SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises. 789.0.2"cfCannotTakeover', '==', '1', 'priority', '==', 'critical"', 'SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0', '192.168.1.101', 'SNMP- COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0', '"public""'] Can someone help me with that?
