Appreciate the support for this problem. Got it fixed and wanted to put the
info here hoping it helps someone in the future.
Problem was a missing double quote from the notify-service-by-email command.
I could see the Notification being generated in nagios.log but thats all.
>From the command line as the Nagios user, I ran the following exactly as is
>with the addition of a $CONTACTEMAIL$:
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $
SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAddition
al Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $S
ERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
The result was a " > " prompt. I the ran the same command up to the pipe
for/usr/sbin/mail and still got the " > " prompt. Once I added the " after
the n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n", it worked.
I did run a verify a couple of times (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ) during troubleshooting but the verify did
not pick up the error.
Thanks Again for the help, hope this helps someone in the future.

What does your etc/objects/commands.cfg notify-service-by-email
command definition look like?
What does "/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" say when it runs?
