Hello Toto,

jabber is really easy to set up. I followed these instructions : http://linuxgazette.net/112/tomar.html
The jabber server was running within an hour.
I use the notification script of David Cox, that I found on Nagiosexchange.

On the PC-side, I use GAIM to read the messages.
My end-users are very happy with that solution.

    Works like a charm ! use this as your notify-command, or tune to your
    needs....
    However I switched to jabber-notification (instant messaging)
    because of
    the rather 'aggressive' popups.

    # 'notify-by-smbclient' command definition
    define command{
        command_name    notify-by-smbclient
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** NAGIOS  *****
    automatically generated POP-UP \n\n Notification Type:
    $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nHost: $HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTALIAS$) \nAddress:
    $HOSTADDRESS$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nState:
    $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
    Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/smbclient -M $CONTACTADDRESS1$ -I
    $CONTACTADDRESS2$
        }

    where CONTACTADDRESS1 = the pc name
    and CONTACTADDRESS2 = the pc's ip-address

    Good luck !

    Frederik
