check_smtp would just verify that your mail server was answering but provide no specific information about whether a particular e-mail was processed. If the e-mail is sent or received by a linux box, check_log2.pl comes to mind. You'd verify in the log file that you saw the e-mail sent by looking for some unique marker (from=<...> address for example). While I haven't specifically crafted a time dependent check, I presume that you could set normal check interval to 24 hours, and set the check period to something like 3:05 to 3:15 and nagios would do the right thing. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
