I verified that sendmail as well as printf and they are both there and located at the specified paths mentioned. I was looking through the send_mail.pl script and could not find where these two apps are called as well as uuencode and the date command. I had assumed that send_mail.pl was a replacement for sendmail and printf by reading the documentation. By reading the script I don't see anything to edit.
Thanks again for all your input.

Looking at the script, send_mail.pl is just a fancy wrapper for /usr/ sbin/sendmail. It also calls /usr/bin/printf, uuencode (no specific path referenced), and the date command (again, no path referenced). All of those programs must exist in the paths specified or your should change the paths in the script. send_mail.pl must also exist in /usr/ local/nagios/libexec. I would also modify the script to explicitly include the path to uuencode and date. When nagios executes the script, most of the $ENVIRONMENT variables don't exist or are different than when executed manually, including $PATH. -- 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
