Summary: check_tcp fails propery parse: -E -s "\\\r"

Initial Comment:
With nagios-plugins 1.4.3 running on centos 4.2 redhat
based linux.

It gobbles all the \'s after the doubled one and
prints r rather than carrige return.

It should parse it as \ <cr>.

Using the string:  "\\a\r" properly sends
"\ a <cr>". This makes it impossible to send
some strings.

I agree, just tested and it seems to be a quoting error.
Sigh.  Not sure why "\\\\\r" didn't work but.... that was
a long day. Sorry. Set ticket to deleted status since there
is no rejected/unfounded state.

John,

I think this is a shell problem:

$ echo "\\\r"
\\r
$ echo '\\\r'
\\\r

I think if you use single quotes around the -s option, the correct number of 
backslashes will be passed to check_tcp.

I've marked the call as pending. Please change if you think this is still a 
problem.

Ton
