Sorry about that... I was sterolizing the error. Here is exactly what the
error says.

[1171638601] HOST NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;relay-1.lctn.org;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.10.4.89)
[1171638601] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/bin/printf
"%b" "***** Nagios 2.7 *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\nHost:
relay-1.lctn.org\nState: DOWN\nAddress: 10.10.4.89\nInfo: CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.10.4.89)\n\nDate/Time: Fri Feb 16 09:10:01 CST 2007\n" | 
-s "Host DOWN alert for relay-1.lctn.org!" admin at lctn.org" resulted in a
return code of 127.  Make sure the script or binary you are trying to
execute actually exists...

I do not have a misccommands.cfg, but I do have commands.cfg.

using the "mail" command yields nothing, but as I mentioned, I do have
sendmail installed. I can telnet to localhost on port 25.


The reason I suspected it stops at "email", is that if I change the
contact email, it shows up in the log file with the same error.
