Summary: Can't send newline with check_tcp

Initial Comment:
In v1.4.1 check_tcp doesn't send \r\n at the end of the
-s string. that breaks many checks.

I didn't see a way to send a newline, so I made the
following patch which parses \(n,r,t) in the -s string.

I don't know if that should be added to the expect
string, too, I'm a C novice and didn't find an easy way
to add that functionality.

Regards,

Sebastian

Sebastian,

Thanks for the patch. I'm currently asking the nagiosplug-devel mailing list 
whether it is best to go with your idea of escaping chars or John's idea of 
option flags to specify endings.

Will respond soon.

Ton

See:
 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1346104&group_id=29880&atid=397599

for a different patch that addresses the same problem and
includes support for the quit string as well.

The expect string could probably benefit from your pasing of
\(n,r,t)
in it provided \\ works to embed a \.

Hopefully one of our patches will make it into the mainline.
