I'd recommend going back to the original notification commands. Yours is broken and/or suboptimal in several ways: 1. You've hard-coded a recipient address. Nagios will pull the address it needs to use from your configs. 2. Many of your macros are host-specific and will not work for service notifications. 3. You're passing printf command to the mail command. 4. You're piping the results to nowhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
