define command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAdd$ } And: define command{ command_name host-notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $$ } But I can't receive notifications mails..

And you don't have a valid command line left: after the pipe, there should be a program to read the output from mail. And your invocation of mail looks a little... non-standard to me. > In the /var/log/messages log I see the following error: > > > Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios > *****nnNotification Type: RECOVERYnHost: Server-1nState: UPnAddress: > 10.100.1.79nInfo: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.76 msnnDate/Time: > Thu Jan 26 17:48:21 EST 2006n" | -s "Host UP alert for Server-OTM!" > [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" resulted in a return code of > 127.

It's all there: the output from mail is piped to '-s' which, most probably, is not installed on your system as an executable program in the path. > > Any kind help is highly appreciated!! > Why don't you try the original notification script and simply insert your mail command between pipe and '-s'? The reason why it's missing, by the way, is probably that configure couldn't identify your mailer.
