<![CDATA[Agent action encode]]>Trying to create an action that runs a script but as soon as i have char åäö in parameter it seems like it fails to run the process, have agent in debuglevel 6 and no error shows up it runs process and it shows PID for it.

I have verified that everything i can think of is utf8

made debug script that logs to file if run Action=debug:/agent/script/ping.sh --message "$1"

$node.executeAgentCommand("debug","test") runs fine and log files are created
$node.executeAgentCommand("debug","testå") is executed according to agent log and gets PID but no logs are created and i can't figure any more deeper way to debug

Running agent 5.2.6 on Debian 12 in docker

if i run script in docker cli it works with åäö only fails when agent runs the script.

Any tips or known issues?

ENV LANG=C.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

Now it works with åäö

it is the official docker setup from github though, will see if i have messed something up.

i tried Action=debug:echo "$1" >> /agent/script/a.txt also to have it as simple as possible and
$node.executeAgentCommand("debug","test") creates a.txt containing test
$node.executeAgentCommand("debug","testå") does not create a.txt, not error in agent log just "Execution of external action debug (echo "testå" >> /agent/script/a.txt) started"

If i run echo "testå" >> /agent/script/a.txt manually in same docker agent is running a.txt is created as utf8 and containing testå

Action=debug:echo "$1" >> /tmp/a.txt
works for me with these letters. But I did not try in Docker, can you check if this works there?

Can you show your ping.sh script?
