When Mr. Mitsuto said something about permissions, I checked all possibilities, and made this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/nagios# su - nagios -s /bin/bash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ /usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/media/critical.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/nagios/htdocs/media/critical.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ It made a sound! But: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/nagios# su - nagios -c "/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/media/critical.wav" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/nagios# This makes nothing. Anyway, it is clear that the nagios user is able to access /dev/dsp, since it played the sound on the first attempt. > Permissions on aplay, the wav file, or anything else?
