Hardware is M3000 with SPARC V9 architecture. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> My problem is, I see sometimes – not always – a service notification in the log, but it is not really done. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here an example, the entry in the log<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> [03-09-2011 09:13:25] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: sms_mayer;amazon;DISK/p14amazon;OK;notify-service-by-sms;DISK OK - free space: /p14amazon 4531 MB (6% inode=99%):<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here is the definition for notify-service-by-sms<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition<o:p></o:p> define command{<o:p></o:p> command_name notify-service-by-sms<o:p></o:p> command_line $USER1$/rshsendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ \"Info: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$ \"<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> As you see I execute a command named “rshsendsms”. And this are the first lines of the shell script:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> :<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # Wed Jan 19 10:12:15 MET 2011 - mayer initial<o:p></o:p> # Wed Feb 16 10:11:54 MET 2011 - mayer logging the UID<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # usage:<o:p></o:p> # rshsendsms 0043664xxxxxxx '"hello world - how are you "'<o:p></o:p> # info: both types of apostrophes are important<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> export PATH LOG NUMBER TEXT ID UID NOTSENT RUNLOG<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> LOG=/var/adm/rshsendsms.log<o:p></o:p> RUNLOG=/var/adm/rshsendsms_run.log<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> date '+%y%m%d %H:%M' >> $RUNLOG<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The first action I do, I write a log-entry. (91% of the disk is free) But in this case I cannot find the entry. The last one is dated with 110309 06:39, where I received a SMS really. I also switched on the process accounting weeks ago. But there is no entry to be found, that the shell script was executed. <o:p></o:p> I also switched on the debug facility of “syslog”. I can find an equivalent entry like in the Nagios log. But there are no other messages, that something could be wrong. <o:p></o:p> But on other hand I was informed at 06:39 and nothing was changed in the meantime. This is not the first time this problem happens. Most of the time notification works fine, but sometimes not. This is of course a pain as notification is one central functionality of Nagios. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any idea where I can start searching for the error ? <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Kind regards <o:p></o:p> Hans<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
