I need help configuring Nagios to send notifications using qpage

[Chris Walker]

Hi,

Are you sure that you need the -i (interactive) flag ?

I call qpage in a similar way but with just :

command[notify-by-qpage]=echo <service message>  | /usr/local/bin/qpage
<recipient>

you need to make sure that qpage is running as a daemon (qpage -q 10 to
check spool every 10 secs)
and that the spool directory /var/spool/qpage (or whatever you
configured) has the correct permissions.


HTH,
