The problem is that nagios doesn't fire a mail. I have done the following. I have created a shell script that it should be executed via a cron task and everytime it should send an email fired by the service. ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh # This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION command # to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary. now=`date +%s` commandfile='/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd' /usr/bin/printf "[%lu] SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;192.168.10.26;MAILPARSER_TEST;2;test;Testing if everything is OK\n" $now > $commandfile -------------------------------------- And I have defined the following service -------------------------------------- define service { service_description MAILPARSER_TEST check_command return-critical normal_check_interval 2 use generic-service notification_interval 0 } -------------------------------------- And never sends a mail as it normally does with all the other services I have. Any idea?

We have a system that parses those emails and using a text to speech system it makes a phone call. To be sure that the alarm system is running we have periodic calls launched by emails programmed as cron tasks. I'm worried that some of the Nagios notifications could be lost or even it wouldn't sent any notification, so I'd like to launch to substitute those cron emails by Nagios "fake" notifications or something similar. Do you know if there is a way to force Nagios to send a notification periodically?
