I have set up nagios nagios-1.3-14.fc4 in my FC4 server, the only problem now is the email notification can't be send out.
The original notify-by-email in misccommands.cfg file is like below:
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$nnService: $SERVIC EDESC$nHost: $HOSTALIAS$nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$nState: $SERVICESTATE$nnDate/Time: $DATETIME$nnAdditional Info:n n$OUTPUT$" | -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

I changed it to :
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$nnService: $SERVIC EDESC$nHost: $HOSTALIAS$nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$nState: $SERVICESTATE$nnDate/Time: $DATETIME$nnAddi tional Info:n n$OUTPUT$" | -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

Basically I replaced /usr/bin/printf with /bin/mail.

And you don't have a valid command line left: after the pipe, there should be a program to read the output from mail. And your invocation of mail looks a little... non-standard to me.

In the /var/log/messages log I see the following error:


Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: RECOVERYnHost: Server-1nState: UPnAddress: 10.100.1.79nInfo: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.76 msnnDate/Time: Thu Jan 26 17:48:21 EST 2006n" | -s "Host UP alert for Server-OTM!" [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" resulted in a return code of 127. Make sure the scri//pt or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...

It's all there: the output from mail is piped to '-s' which, most probably, is not installed on your system as an executable program in the path.


Any kind help is highly appreciated!!


Why don't you try the original notification script and simply insert your mail command between pipe and '-s'? The reason why it's missing, by the way, is probably that configure couldn't identify your mailer.
