Hi, I have two distinct suggestions out this problem. First, you could define a bash/perl/c or any other language basis (embedded perl or c is suggested for speed issues - if you have a less notification frequency of 10 notifs in a minute) script. Then, certainly, you are passing the mobile number as a parametre. So you could select a text inside that script. At last that script will be the trigger for SMS. So notification scipt will be your new bash (or other) script. Second, you could define "n" (which is the number of different texts) different SMS notification commands in (etc/misccommands in old versions, and etc/command.etc in nagios 2.x). But you have to say that, this person will be notified with this command for each. I hope it is a bit picturable. If you have questions, I can be more clear on this.

From what I've read, for check_commands I can define a way to pass arguments at runtime by using "command parameter_1!parameter2....!parameter_n" if I state $ARG1$...$ARGn$ in the definition part. Is there anything like that for the notification commands ? What I'd like to do is send personalized notifications based on the contact specified in my configuration. I'm trying to call gammu/gnokii to send an SMS with different texts depending on who's being notified and I'd like to avoid if possible the definition of each and every particular notification command. Is there any way to do this (something like specify in the notification command just script-name "Custom Text" "mobile number" ) ? Or do I have to create specific entries for each one of them ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
