not receiving the nagios notifications

[Marc Powell]

I'm running out of ideas. Try changing your notify command_line to be --

       command_line    /bin/echo '/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$' >> /tmp/host-notify

Make sure it's all one line. After a notification attempt, the file /tmp/host-notify will contain the command line that nagios would have executed. Try running that as the nagios user.
