getting mon to execute shell command
Hi All, Maybe this is not the proper way to get help, but i can't seem to find a forum or a faq, so i can solve my problem. So please forgive me! I have mon installed and functioning properly, but i like mon to send an sms through gammu. The command i run in the terminal is : echo servers down test | gammu --sendsms TEXT 0612345678 I changed the test.alert script so it reads this: #!/usr/bin/sh echo servers down test | gammu --sendsms TEXT 0653638072 But it doesn't work My mon.cf : # /etc/mon/mon.cf, configuration file for mon # # Run `/etc/init.d/mon reload' after editing this file in order for your # changes to take effect. # There is no default configuration for mon. The docs most useful for # setting up your /etc/mon/mon.cf file are the mon(1) man page, # /usr/share/doc/mon/README.hints*, /usr/share/doc/mon/README.monitors* # and /usr/share/doc/mon/examples/mon.cf*. # When you do configure your server, it's a good idea to include these # settings (to restrict access to the server to the local machine): # #serverbind = localhost #trapbind = localhost alertdir = /usr/lib/mon/alert.d mondir = /usr/lib/mon/mon.d logdir = /var/log/mon histlength = 100 dtlogging = yes dtlogfile = dtlog hostgroup pingableservers domain.org watch pingableservers service tcp interval 1m monitor tcp.monitor -p 16001 period numalerts 2 alert test.alert upalert test.alert All the alert scripts have the proper rights, and i can't find any info in the logfile at /var/log/mon any help is appreciated!

you need to specify a period, such as wd {Sun-Sat}
period wd {Sun-Sat}
numalerts 2
alert sms.alert
upalert sms.alert

I changed it but still it ain't working.
When i use monshow --showall it lists the fail and the alerts (2)
so that part i think is correct, is there any other log except
/var/log/mon where i can look for a clue?
hostgroup domain
domain.org
watch domain
service tcp
interval 1m
monitor tcp.monitor -p 16001
period hr {0-23}
numalerts 2
alert sms.alert
upalert sms.alert
