notify-by-email

[Jens.Bergmann at nordCom.net]

Hi Tom,

/bin/echo -e 'Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nHostname: $HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTADDRESS$)\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$' | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

is working well for me (but its not standard as i modfied subject and body of the mail :) )
(on debian)
