Help - I am unable to send notifications

[Jonathan Williams]

I have decided on another course of action.  I have spent way too much
time with no success on this issue.  I just can't get this script to
work.  Are there any other recommended plug-ins that anyone can
recommend.  The native e-mailer did not work either and when on the
Nagios Wiki I found this about it:

 

by default, nagios uses 'mail' or 'mailx' to send it's email. The actual
mail command is found in the default commands.cfg file
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/command.cfg

 

there are two definitions by default 'notify-host-by-email' and
'notify-service-by-email'

 

in each of these definitions, there is a "command_line"; this is what
nagios executes in order to send mail using the mail or mailx system
(varies from system to system) and it *may* need to be changed in order
to work - although I must admit to not having much success so far with
it myself :( (see forum thread -->

 

Perhaps I'll go back to the native mailx mailer and try that again and
reset my commands.cgf back to how it was.

The actual interpretation of a sh-bang line is usually done by the

general loader, which is to say exec(3) (I think that's the distinction

between exec(2) and exec(3)); if the sh-bang line doesn't call a shell,

one is not involved.

But I suppose you may have meant "the interactive shell you're talking

to"...
