<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> Appreciate the support for this problem. Got it fixed and wanted to put the info here hoping it helps someone in the future. Problem was a missing double quote from the notify-service-by-email command. I could see the Notification being generated in nagios.log but thats all. From the command line as the Nagios user, I ran the following exactly as is with the addition of a $CONTACTEMAIL$: /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $ SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAddition al Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $S ERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ The result was a " > " prompt. I the ran the same command up to the pipe for/usr/sbin/mail and still got the " > " prompt. Once I added the " after the n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n", it worked. I did run a verify a couple of times (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ) during troubleshooting but the verify did not pick up the error. Thanks Again for the help, hope this helps someone in the future.

What does "/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" say when it runs? Terry -- Terry Carmen CNY Support, LLC Web. Database.
