Daily status report?

[David Price]

Marc,

Have you looked on Nagios Exchange?  There is a project called Nagios 
Email Report that may be what you are looking for.  I haven't used it, 
so I can't make any claims on how well it works.  The link is 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/AddOn_Projects.22.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=640

Hope that helps,

David Price
