Package: nagios-common
Version: 1.4-3
The definition of notify-by-email and the like in
/etc/nagios/misccommands.cfg defines the body of the email to have a
last line NOT ending in a \n character. GNU mailutils' mail will drop
these last lines.
For example, in the package source file
nagios-1.4/sample-config/default-object/misccommands.cfg.in:
command[notify-by-email]=/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios @VERSION@
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | @MAIL_PROG@ -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
needs to be:
command[notify-by-email]=/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios @VERSION@
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$\n" | @MAIL_PROG@ -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
else the contents of $OUTPUT$ don't make it into the email. Similarly
for other commands utilising @MAIL_PROG@ where that may be GNU
mailutils' mail program.
It's simple to test this with two quick commandlines:
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Testing *****\n\nWibble" | /usr/bin/mail -s "**
test **" <user>
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Testing *****\n\nWibble\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "**
test **" <user>
The first email will NOT have the line 'Wibble' in it, the second will.

remain open for older distributions.
