What my script does is to send a string to my phone, so i need to feed the script with the output from nagios when an error occurs, but i can't seem to find out how to do this.

Hi Mikael,

You need to setup your notify command to use the macros available in
Nagios to get the output you want

On my Nagios setup, the Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

For more detail on macros in Nagios, look at
