Hi what I am interested in is what your sendsms script contains are u using email-to-sms gateway or some external hardware sms gateway or some linux utility like send-sms tools to achieve the same. <div class="gmail_quote"> On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 9:54 PM, Jim Avery <<a href="mailto:jim@jimavery.me.uk">jim@jimavery.me.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div class="im">On 15 September 2011 10:35, Metron 6 (six) <<a href="mailto:metron6@gmail.com">metron6@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > hello all, > > i have a shell script which takes two arguments, the mobile phone > number and the text message, which sends sms notifications. > for example /usr/local/bin/sendsms 6944444444 "host problem" > > when i debug Nagios, i can see this into the log file > > [1316012199.774170] [256.1] [pid=17625] Running command > '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/sendsms 6944420xxx "Type:PROBLEM, Host: > 00-dummy_2, State: DOWN, Address: <a href="tel:194.145.127.44" value="+19414512744">194.145.127.44</a>, Info: Unknown ping > number, Date/Time: 14-09-2011"'... > > when i run from a terminal the command > /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/sendsms 6944420xxx "Type:PROBLEM, Host: > 00-dummy_2, State: DOWN, Address: <a href="tel:194.145.127.44" value="+19414512744">194.145.127.44</a>, Info: Unknown ping > number, Date/Time: 14-09-2011" > sms message arrives normally.... > > this is how i include the command into nagios conf files.. > > define command{ > command_name host-notify-by-sms > command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/sendsms > $CONTACTPAGER$ "Type:$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$, Host: $HOSTNAME$, State: > $HOSTSTATE$, Address: $HOSTADDRESS$, Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$, Date/Time: > $DATE$" > } > > any help/suggestions ? </div>Looks ok to me. Am I right in assuming that when Nagios runs the command you receive no SMS at all? Or do you receive something but in the wrong format? When you run the command from the command-line, are you logged in as 'nagios'? If not it could be a simple permissions problem. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
