The marco's are internal to nagios and will not be read from an external text file .

there is a way to make nagios macros available to external commands ( look for "macros" in the nagios.cfg file)

But what you are trying to do with the message.txt file will fail to work as the SendEmail script most likely do not have access to the nagios internal macros and there for will not expand them .

Hello list,

How can I access Nagios variables like $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$, $SHORTDATETIME$, etc from a text file passed in a command?

I have one command which is:
/usr/local/bin/sendEmail -o message-file=/etc/nagios/message.txt ... bla bla bla

And inside message.txt I have those variables. However when I am notified, I am not getting variable's values, instead, it gives me the plain string "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$", etc.

Googling didn't help too much.

Thanks for all help on this!

Best regards,

Bruno
