Of course, now we're paranoid that Nagios, e-mail or the Blackberry Exchange Server (to forward e-mail to our Blackberries) may not be working when we don't receive alerts for that long so I want to setup a "heartbeat" every 2 hours to make sure our communication chain is in operation. I know I can setup a check that will result in a Critical status which will send a Critical alert. I was looking for a more graceful way. I would like to run check_nagios and be able to send its output via e-mail whether the status is OK, warning, critical or unreachable, but even check_dummy 0 would be fine. How can I do this? I've searched for heartbeat and I've only found references to it regarding a distributed Nagios system which we don't have. - Rim Rimbert Rivera Manager, Information Technology COMTEX News Network rrivera@comtex.com (703) 820-2000 Discover more about COMTEX at: <A HREF="http://www.comtex.com/">http://www.comtex.com/</A> This e-mail is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
