Just make sure you have both notification commands defined in misccommand.cfg since this uses the short command names which should be defined there. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> But in exact this paragraph it says: Multiple notification commands should be separated by commas. All notification commands are executed when the contact needs to be notified. So when I put this contact into a service, always both commands will be executed. But I want some services only to send email and not SMS. Got my idea? Christopher </pre> </blockquote> ah, sorry, in my haste I misread, ok then you do need 2 contact definitions and 2 contactgroup definitions, one email, and one both, then just assign the contact group to the service definitions according to which notifications you want. If anybody else has a better way of doing this I'd like to hear it... Hari </body> </html>
