Re: [Nagios-users] Problem with notify-by-email
Thanks, After adding mail into the command it works. What may have caused it to not be there? I didn't specify --with-mail=dir when I compiled nagios.

Possibly. ./configure almost certainly wasn't able to locate the mail binary by itself and probably complained about it. Normally there isn't a problem locating it but if it's installed in an unusual place or not installed at all the result would be what you experienced. -- Marc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
