Subject: [Nagios-users] Custom Paging from miscommands.cfg

I have a custom script that doesnt accept data thats been piped into it,
instead the data to send a page must be on the command line, in a shell
the syntax is

/usr/sbin/sendpage.pl userfrom userto Y message

In Nagios the user is setup to match the user to so $CONTACTPAGER$ 
should
contain the correct information.

The Y instructs the script to send an email as well as a SMS. And 
message
is a string to send as a message.

Problem is that it doesnt appear to be getting executed correctly.  
Heres
whats in the miscommands.cfg and the event log shows that its been 
called
just doesnt appear to be working :( sigh.


# 'notify-by-VMPager' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-VMPager
        command_line    /usr/bin/sendpage.pl $CONTACTPAGER$ 
$CONTACTPAGER$
N "Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo:$OUTPUT$$
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Why are you adding two $$ in the end ? Also closing " is missing

Some tips which may help you 

1. Try running the script  as user nagios you may have permission 
problems 
2. Try  doing some logging in the perl script  to enable better 
debugging
3. if there is arr " in the message or error then it may things worse.

 Best of luck

Any ideas would really be helpful.

Thanks
