If you think about it, this must be impossible. Since the event handler is called at the same time as the notifications, the output (if any) is not avaiable when the notifications are queued as the event handler has not yet run. The only way I can see to do this is to code an email sender into your event handler script. You could fudge it by creating a dummy service for the same host that uses freshness to immediately reset to OK and has a count of 1, and then have your event handler send a passive alert (containing the output text) to this service. The dummy service (which has the same contacts as the main service) then sends out a separate alert to the contacts with this information. You could probably even create a generic eventhandler wrapper script to do this. Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
