Bummer.  I made the change and did not get any errors, however I am
still getting the same error in the nagios.log:

[1216757322] Warning: Attempting to execute the command
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl -n "SERVICE PROBLEM" -h
"jwilliamspc" -s "CRITICAL" -a "10.10.113.51" -i "PrintSpooler -
Spooler: Stopped - check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l Spooler" -d "Tue
Jul 22 13:08:42 PDT 2008" -e "jonathan.williams at us.g4s.com"" resulted in
a return code of 126.  Make sure the script or binary you are trying to
execute actually exists.

I am not sure if it is permissions or not.  The user nagios is the owner
of this file and should have access.  I ran this from the command
prompt, but realize the $wildcards$ will have no meaning from here.

root at LOOKINIUM:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl -n "HOST $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" -h "$HOSTNAME$"  -s "$HOSTSTATE$" -a "$HOSTADDRESS$" -i "$HOSTOUTPUT$" -d "$LONGDATETIME$" -e "$CONTACTEMAIL$"
bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl: Permission denied
root at LOOKINIUM:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#
sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl -n "HOST $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
-h "$HOSTNAME$"  -s "$HOSTSTATE$" -a "$HOSTADDRESS$" -i "$HOSTOUTPUT$"
-d "$LONGDATETIME$" -e "$CONTACTEMAIL$"
sudo: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl: command not found

The first attempt was run as logged in user (zlocaladmin) which does not
have rights.  Not sure why it still gave permissions error since I ran
sudo - long before in that session and everything else I can run without
the sudo command.  Anyhow when run with root access I get the command
not found error.  I'm stumped.
