Notifications by e-mail

[Hugo Rebello]

I don't have problem in use the "mail command", I just can't start the
sendmail service.
Why when I use "mail command" I need running the sendmail service ?

Thanks,
Hugo

Then I'd suggest the original option ... redefine the command for
notifications
through email. The original is simply:

define command {
command_name                   notify-by-email
command_line                   /bin/echo -e "***** Nagios 1.0
*****\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHo
st: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}

the command this is actually using is /bin/mail but you could pipe it to
whatever
you need in order to deliver the mail properly.
