I've been trying to get a Perl script to work as part of the notify- by-email command as defined in minimal.cfg, and it's finally dawned on me that the RPM package I'm using has the embedded Perl interpreter compiled in.

(Is there a replacement for nagios -m in v2.0? The documentation still refers to it, but it doesn't seem to work.)

Anyway, I'm not thrilled about having to deal with ePN for simple Perl utilities that aren't plugins, but I figured I could get it to work anyway. However, now I'm less confident.

Here's the pipeline as originally defined in minimal.cfg:

   /usr/bin/printf ... | /bin/mail -s ...

It's the printf portion of the pipeline that I've been attempting to replace with a Perl script. Once I realized that ePN was mucking things up I hoped that it would be sufficient to exit with an OK "error", but that was apparently wishful thinking.

Does anyone know what the shortest functional ePN script might be?
