SMS notification with gammu

[Dinçer Kavraal]

Hello Simon,
Probably, it is so. Otherwise, I don't have anything sensible in my mind
about this. Could you check (if possible pass to Nagios user and try to
execute)
/usr/bin/printf
/usr/local/bin/gammu
can be readable and executable by Nagios user?

you can simply add
# chmod +x /usr/bin/printf
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gammu

however, one more problem can occur. gammu also could be able to read its
resources as nagios user. Anyway, let's try to execute the command as Nagios
user. Waiting for your reply...
