Ah I overlooked it was being copied to a remote server. As for running as the
user nagios, how did you achieve that - with su or logging in directly? I
found that su doesn't work as expected.
Anyhow, as you say the outgoing dir is world-writeable on the remote server,
then it should work AFAIK - though why don't you move the notify-by-sms script
to the remote server and have a sommand on the nagios server such as:
define command {
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"/some/path/notify-by-sms $CONTACTPAGER$ \"$TIME$ $HOSTALIAS$ $HOSTSTATE$
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$\""
}
In my mind it's cleaner than the scp method, though whether or not it'll work
or not I'm not sure!
