Thanks Russell, this worked like a champ. For anyone interested I made a slight modification to the end of the file to fix the hyperlinks that come out if the service name includes a space. For example:
perl -pi -e 's|service=mailq size|service=mailq%20size|g' $tmpfile perl -pi -e 's|service=HTTPS check|service=HTTPS%20check|g' $tmpfile perl -pi -e 's|service=HTTP check|service=HTTP%20check|g' $tmpfile mail -s "$subject" "$recipient" < $tmpfile rm -f $tmpfile -Matthew -----Original Message----- From: Russell Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 1:32 PM To: Boeckman, Matthew Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host/service acknowledgement template?

It's called without arguments (taking advantage of nagios 2.x exporting of macros to the environment) like so: define command { command_name notify-by-email command_line $USER3$/notify-by-email.sh } I use the same script for all notification and generate the contents based on the presence of certain macros -> env variables. The script could probably be better, but it's working for me ATM. -- Russell A.
