[Nagiosplug-help] Re: [Nagios-users] send mail notifications

Hi Nicole,

you can use the Mail Command but on some linux version, also mine,
the default configuration won't work.
I had to change the script a little bit, i changed it also to the 
sendmail command. it looks like this (misccommand.cfg):


with mail command:

define command {
command_name                   notify-by-email
command_line                   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0b5 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" 
| /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - 
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}


with sendmail command (i use this to send xml mails to the sms server):
define command {
command_name                   notify-by-epager
command_line                   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "From: 
xxxxxxx at 21torr.com\nTo: smsserver at xxxxxxxxxxx\nSubject: SEND SMS\n<?xml 
version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\" ?>\n<batch password=\"xxxxxxxxxx\"
cid=\"xxxxxxxx\">\n<sms>\n<to>$CONTACTPAGER$</to>\n<from>0049171234567</from>\n<text>Service: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\nDate: 
$DATETIME$</text>\n</sms>\n</batch>" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
}

Try one of these, it should work for you.
