Hi Marc,
You just saved me _lots_ of time. It looks like someone had adjusted
the permissions on /tmp to 0700 and owned by root:root - hence no tmp
file could be created by /usr/bin/mail or /usr/bin/mailx
I did a stat on the directory but it has been updated several times
since Nagios stoppped working so I'm no doubt not going to be able to
find out when it was modified and by which uid.
Much appreciate your assistance!!!!
Cheers

This is good. Nagios is trying to execute the notify-service-by-email
command.
[1244096600.198454] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.
Next possible notification time: Thu Jun 4 19:23:20 2009
[1244096600.198514] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.
... and nagios believes it was successful
I'm able to manually use the mail command to send external e-mail
(have attempted this several times) and can confirm that I can
manually execute the command_line for the notification option:
as the nagios user? (just covering the base)...
I have addjusted the command_line and changed it to something like
(for example):
command_line echo "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST
SUBJECT **" m...@email.address
How about eliminating /usr/bin/mail entirely and dumping text to a
file in /tmp?
command_line echo `date` ' - I notified!'>> /tmp/notif.log
All this said I'm not seeing anything in the mail server logs
indicating that Nagios is even attempting to use notify-service-by-
email and send e-mail.
That's interesting and my money is on it being some problem related
to /usr/bin/mail. You might try capturing the output of /usr/bin/mail
by redirecting to a log file --
command_line echo "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST SUBJECT **"
m...@email.address
>>/tmp/mail.err 2>&1
