Fwd: Re: getting mon to execute shell command
well, i copied the script to the test.alert file, but there is no log created in /tmp. showmon gives 2 fails and 2 alerts.. I changed the owner from root to mon (alert scripts) and chmod 777 on them Still no luck... I don't know if could have something to do with ubuntu? (i tried it with 8.04 and 9.10 server) both the same problem!

(i tried it with > 8.04 and 9.10 server) both the same problem! Have you tried adding some standard alert to your watch, like mail.alert alongside with your sms.alert? I would start with standard alert to see if it is executed at time of service failure. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

yes, now it works, but if i start mon as daemon ,eg /etc/init.d/mon start it doesn't work start mon with the debug flag "-d", without "-f", and watch the output after it notices the first failure. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

ok, let me google that, thanks everybody for brainstorming it's probably your environment. be more explicit with the paths to the programs you call from your alert script by either setting a path at the top of the script or by specifying the full path to each. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

ok, i read a lot about setting paths in your bash profile but that isn't what you mean i think, a daemon is already active without a user logged in? but when i look at my script i specify the path to gammu in the second line : that should be enough or am i thinking the wrong way? #!/usr/bin/bash echo "servers down test" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 12345678 > > > yes, now it works, > > but if i start mon as daemon ,eg /etc/init.d/mon start > it doesn't work it's probably your environment. be more explicit with the paths to the programs you call from your alert script by either setting a path at the top of the script or by specifying the full path to each. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

nope still not working, tested it with mon -d, then it works, not with daemon. #!/bin/bash /bin/echo "servers down test" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 12345678 ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
