Looks like I missed trying the most simple solution: Just putting in an additional set of quotes (-T "opta optb") on the config line turns out to work just fine. Monit's config parser obviously just removes the outer pair of quotes around the "path" setting and happily continues with the rest. All my tries to clevery escape the inner quotes were needless. ;-) cu Gerrit > Hello, > > I need monit to execute and check the result of a script on a remote host > via ssh.
