That is my guess as well, but the user Nagios is the owner of the file. Also in my last email I did find and include this text from the Nagios.log file:
Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl - n "Service Problem" -h "jwilliamspc" -s "Critical"... (all the parameters are correct)... [EMAIL PROTECTED] resulted in a return code of 126. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists... I did some searching on error code 126 and the issue was permission, but if Nagios is the owner how could that be? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Powell Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 11:59 AM To: nagios Mailinglist Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Help - I am unable to get the NSClient++to restart services On Jul 17, 2008, at 11:05 AM, Jonathan Williams wrote: > To further test the send_mail.pl function, I tried running it > directly from a command prompt and I get a "Permission Denied" > error.

If so, look at that line number in the script and see what it's trying to do. It's usually not difficult to determine what and why if you take a look. An educated guess, assuming you really mean to say that you're testing the script as the nagios user (as you should), is that the nagios user does not have permissions to execute /usr/sbin/ sendmail. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
