sytax for misccommands

[Henry Langendoen]

Hi Dave,

We have done something simular with sms_client. It's important to see if you
can run smcxx under the same user as nagios runs, i.e. user nagios. I had to
set the s bit on sms_client for nagios to execute this binairy.

Gook luck,

Onderwerp: [Nagios-users] sytax for misccommands


Hello,
 I want to setup a notify by sms text message misccommand.
The program I use (scmxx) needs this input at the command line:
/usr/local/bin/scmxx --send --sms --direct -t "a message" -n +123456789

In the text of the message, the "a message" part, I'd like to add
$HOSTSTATE$ & $HOSTNAME$ macros etc.. also for the phone number, +123456789,
I'd like to use $CONTACTPAGER$.

Here's what I have in misccommands.cfg...

# 'host-notify-by-sms' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /usr/local/bin/scmxx --send --sms --direct -t
"Nagios error" -n $CONTACTPAGER$
  }


I have my telephone number defined as pager in contacts.cfg.

I'm not getting notified with this, I see in the event log that nagios has
tried to notify me as I have this line:

28-05-2003 10:39:10] HOST NOTIFICATION:
dave;dave;DOWN;host-notify-by-sms;/bin/ping -n -U -c 1 172.18.3.43

Could someone help with this? I'm sure it's the syntax of the misccommand
but don't know where to look. Thanks Dave.
