General information
The current Linux agent doesn't work with Home Assistant OS (HAOS: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux) because
/bin/bash
is in fact a redirection to/bin/sh
. Theopenwrt
agent is compatible with HAOS but doesn't provide as much information. It is notably missing the systemd agent information.Proposed changes
To make the Linux agent work with
sh
, the<<<
operators need to be replaced and the bashfor
loop syntax needs to be adapted as it is not compatible.I am not sure what is the best approach to this as I don't have a variety of systems to test it on; it might break the agent on other systems although I didn't encounter any issue in my lab with my other Linux distros. A separate agent might be ideal but I admit we're entering a very niche OS that would not be worth supporting a completely total different agent. In that regard, it would probably be better for me to submit a new agent specifically for HAOS to the Checkmk Exchange, but I still wanted to leave a trace on the git and have your thoughts on the matter.
