well, i copied the script to the test.alert file, but there is no log created in /tmp. showmon gives 2 fails and 2 alerts.. I changed the owner from root to mon (alert scripts) and chmod 777 on them
Still no luck... I don't know if could have something to do with ubuntu? (i tried it with 8.04 and 9.10 server) both the same problem! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: getting mon to execute shell command Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:36:24 +0200 From: Beat Jucker <beat.juc...@glue.ch> To: mon@linux.kernel.org > > I changed the test.alert script so it reads this: > > > > #!/usr/bin/sh > > > > echo "servers down test" | gammu --sendsms TEXT 0653638072 > > > > But it doesn't work.... To trace your problem I would enhance the monitor script and check the log. Maybe there is something wrong in MON PATH (not finding gammu)? #!/usr/bin/sh exec 2>> /tmp/smsmonitor.log echo "MON: $0 $* @ `date`" >&2 echo "servers down test" | gammu --sendsms TEXT 0653638072 > Have you tried running that script yourself?

My bet is on > /bin/sh. :) wrong assumption - e.g. real unix ;-) like solaris: $ type sh sh is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/sh $ ls -ld /bin /usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 28 2004 /bin -> ./usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root bin 13824 Jul 7 2008 /usr/bin Regards -- Beat _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
