Subject: [Nagios-users] Alert problem

Hello all,

First of all, I am french so excuse my awful english (I try to
increase my level but it's difficult)
I am using Nagios 1.2 with mysql support.
OK then, the problem is that I want, for an host down/up notification
that nagios launches another script more a mail.
I have the mail but my script isnt' launched ... Why ?

Here my service.cfg
define service{
       use                             generic-service
       host_name                       hpovtest
       service_description             check-host-alive
       is_volatile                     0
       check_period                    24x7
       max_check_attempts              1
       normal_check_interval           1
       retry_check_interval            1
       contact_groups                  nt-admins
       notification_interval           240
       notification_period             arte_time
       notification_options            w,u,c,r
       check_command
check_ping_url!100.0,20%!500.0,50%
       }

And the 'contact'define contact{
       contact_name                    g-renard
       alias                           Guillaume RENARD
       service_notification_period     24x7
       host_notification_period        24x7
       service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
       host_notification_options       d,u,r
       service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
       host_notification_commands     
host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-alerte
       email                   g-renard at arte-tv.com
       ]

The host-notify by alerte is defines in misccommands.cfg :
# 'host-notify-by-alerte' command definition
define command{
       command_name    host-notify-by-alerte
       command_line    /bin/touch /home/nagios/alerte
       }

But... I have mail but never my alerte file in /home/nagios...

So what can the problem be ??

Thanks for your help !!!
