If you quote the service description in local checks, you can use blank characters now.

As an example, the old format (still supported) and the new format without and with blank:

mylocalcheck_old_format

echo "0 myservice - OK: This is my custom output"

mylocalcheck_new_format

echo "0 \"myservice\" - OK: This is my custom output"

mylocalcheck_new_format_with_blank

echo "0 \"my service\" - OK: This is my custom output"
