Is there more? A line number or command referenced along with the error? If so, look at that line number in the script and see what it's trying to do. It's usually not difficult to determine what and why if you take a look. An educated guess, assuming you really mean to say that you're testing the script as the nagios user (as you should), is that the nagios user does not have permissions to execute /usr/sbin/ sendmail. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
