We're running Nagios 2.9. We have a command configured:
define command {
command_name host-notify-by-xmessage
command_line /etc/nagios/scripts/host-notify-by-xmessage
"$HOSTSTATE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$DATETIME$"
}
The "host-notify-by-xmessage" is a shell script that pulls in a text file and
displays that text file along with the host and the problem via an xmessage to
an xdisplay. This all works fine when run from the command line. It even
works when invoked by nagios, but when nagios invokes it, it also kills the
process in about 30 seconds. This wasn't a problem on Nagios 1.x. We recently
upgraded to 2.9 and ran into this issue. I've tried nohup'ing the xmessage,
but no luck - it seems like the nagios process kills it no matter what!? I've
tried converting the script to perl and using 'system' or 'exec' calls, but
that didn't fix the problem either.
Does anyone have a workaround for this or a suggestion on things to try, please?
Thank you,
