Nagios reply notifications to acknowledge

[Jon Lyons]

Search the archives for my perl scripts to the list a few weeks ago. You'll have to modify them a little, but I can enable/disable notifications, acknowledge hosts, and get a quick summary stats of problems on my nextel. The nice thing is you don't have to type the replies, my script appends them to the message so you just hit reply. Great if your cell provider supports 2way messaging... :)

- /etc/aliases (redirecting mail destined for 'nagios' and piping it to a
script)
- procmail (optional)
- a script that you write
- awareness of how to pipe commands into nagios.cmd, which I believe are
available in the FAQ over on www.nagios.org.

HTH.
