Problem with notify-by-email

[D.Parise at iaea.org]

It happened to me as well as I installed the mail agent after nagios, I guess.

Thanks,
 
After adding "mail" into the command it works. What may have caused it to not be there?
I didn't specify --with-mail=dir when I compiled nagios. Can that be the problem???

	Hi,
	have a look at this part of the error:
	 
	Nagios process!" | -s "** PROBLEM alert 
	 
	The mail command is missing, I think.

		Hi,
		 
		 
		When Nagios is trying to send me an e-mail I get the following error in the event log:
		 
		 
		[03-14-2007 12:02:36] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.7 *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\n\nService: Nagios\nHost: ****\nAddress: ***.***.***.***\nState: CRITICAL\n\nDate/Time: Wed Mar 14 12:02:36 CET 2007\n\nAdditional Info:\n\nNAGIOS CRITICAL: Could not locate a running Nagios process!" | -s "** PROBLEM alert - ****/Nagios is CRITICAL **" ****@****.com" resulted in a return code of 127. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...
		 
		 
		 
		I use Nagios 2.7 with Debian and Exim4. Exim is working normal and sents a e-mail when I do the following test:
		"printf text | mail -s "subject" e-mail address"
		 
		The "notify-by-email" command is present in the commands.cfg
		 
		I didn't find any help on google etc..
		any idea?
		 
		chiel
