Notifications not coming through

[Lee Fitz]

Hi 				

I was having a very similar problem about 1 week ago

I had incorrectly edited the 'command_line' in the 'define command'
 for the email notification. The consequences of which are identical
 to your result. My guess is that if you look CLOSELY at the 'command_lin
e' you will find something wrong - in my case I had a  bare $ in
 the line.  

Anyway, an easy way to verify operation of you cmd line is to copy
 and edit it and then try to execute it in a shell - Im betting
 it wont work - AND I have NOT found anywhere in Nagios where there
 is any error info about the cmd not being parsed correctly

Example

define command{

    command_name    notify-by-email

    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $HOSTNAME$
 $SHORTDATETIME$" | mail -s "" $CONTACTEMAIL$

    }        

so copy -/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $HOSTNAME$ $SHORTDATETIME$
" | mail -s "" $CONTACTEMAIL$- out - edit in real values and execute
 it -
