Notification problem.

[Marcus Nilsson]

Hi,
This is probably very easy and I am quite novel on Linux so bare with me.

This is what I get in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log:

[1033453141] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/bin/printf
"%b" "***** Nagios 1.0b6 *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\nHost:
Oldenzaal01\nState: DOWN\nAddress: 192.168.206.82\nInfo: CRITICAL - Plugin
timed out after 10 seconds\n\nDate/Time: Tue Oct 1 08:19:01 CEST 2002\n" |
-s "Host DOWN alert for Oldenzaal01!" marcus.nilsson at cannondale.com"
resulted in a return code of 127.  Make sure the script or binary you are
trying to execute actually exists...
[1033453441] HOST NOTIFICATION:
nilssonm;Oldenzaal01;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out
after 10 seconds

Do I need sendmail installed to get the notify-by-email function to work?

The box is running Linux Slackware 8.1

Thanks in advice.
