Can long lines in mon.cf be gracefully wrapped, as:

hostgroup testing_server_network 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 172.16.0.3 \
                                 172.16.0.4 172.16.0.5


or does this mess things up?



Is this possible in mon.cf:


hostgroup "My Server Group"

watch "My Server Group"

...




From the man page:
Lines are parsed as they are read. Long lines may be continued by ending them with a backslash ("\"). If a line is continued, then the backslash, the trailing whitespace after the backslash, and the leading whitespace of the following line are removed. The end result is assembled into a single line.

Also from the man page:
Hostgroup entries begin with the keyword hostgroup, and are followed by a hostgroup tag and one or more hostnames or IP addresses, separated by whitespace. The hostgroup tag must be composed of alphanumeric characters, a dash ("-"), a period ("."), or an underscore ("_"). Non-blank lines following the first hostgroup line are interpreted as more hostnames. The hostgroup definition ends with a blank line.

And:
Watch entries begin with a line that starts with the keyword watch, followed by whitespace and a single word which normally refers to a pre-defined hostgroup. If the second word is not recognized as a hostgroup tag, a new hostgroup is created whose tag is that word, and that word is its only member.
