I had installed the version 2.4 by binary way and we had using NagiosQL to
configure.
The servers had been monitored ok  

In all time that nagios was installed here  none of the serves had not been
down any moment
On the first server down one, the nagios process did not send any e.mail
using the pre-configured scritp host-notify-by-email.
Whe I had tried runnig the script using user nagios the message was sent
with no problem.

This is what is showed in nagio.log
