You're command line should look like this: /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6 *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\nHost: SMTP\nState: DOWN\nAddress: <IP ADDRESS>\nInfo: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%\n\nDate/Time: Tue Feb 5 17:14:02 EST 2008\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host DOWN alert for SMTP!" <EMAIL ADDRESS>
