Thanks to Jim here on the list, I have defined a command to send an e-mail using a sendEmail perl script. From the command line, the script works fine. When I try to use the new notify-by-sendEmail as the service_notification_commands for my contact, Nagios logs the message as sent, which never makes it to the SMTP server and I get this error in the /var/log/messages:
Feb 2 10:13:39 esmtp kernel: pid 14486 (nagios), uid 2004: exited on signal 10 I have the same permissions on the file as the other commands that Nagios uses in the minimail.cfg, like /usr/bin/mail: esmtp# ls -lah /usr/local/bin/sendEmail -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 62K Feb 1 17:58 /usr/local/bin/sendEmail Can someone suggest why I get this error? I simplified the new command without the variables like below, I can copy and paste this command to the command line and the message gets sent successfully: define command{ command_name notify-by-sendEmail command_line /usr/local/bin/sendEmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s 10.0.0.40 -m "Body" -u "Subject" } define contact{ contact_name webtent alias WebTent service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,u,c,r host_notification_options d,r service_notification_commands notify-by-sendEmail host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email email [EMAIL PROTECTED] } -- Robert ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
