Thanks,

After adding "mail" into the command it works. What may have caused it to not 
be there?
I didn't specify --with-mail=dir when I compiled nagios. Can that be the 
problem???

  Hi,
  have a look at this part of the error:

  Nagios process!" | -s "** PROBLEM alert 

  The mail command is missing, I think.

    Betreff: [Nagios-users] Problem with notify-by-email


    Hi,


    When Nagios is trying to send me an e-mail I get the following error in the 
event log:


    [03-14-2007 12:02:36] Warning: Attempting to execute the command 
"/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.7 *****\n\nNotification Type: 
PROBLEM\n\nService: Nagios\nHost: ****\nAddress: ***.***.***.***\nState: 
CRITICAL\n\nDate/Time: Wed Mar 14 12:02:36 CET 2007\n\nAdditional 
Info:\n\nNAGIOS CRITICAL: Could not locate a running Nagios process!" | -s "** 
PROBLEM alert - ****/Nagios is CRITICAL **" [EMAIL PROTECTED]" resulted in a 
return code of 127. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute 
actually exists...



    I use Nagios 2.7 with Debian and Exim4. Exim is working normal and sents a 
e-mail when I do the following test:
    "printf text | mail -s "subject" e-mail address"

    The "notify-by-email" command is present in the commands.cfg

    I didn't find any help on google etc..
    any idea?

    chiel
