If the exchange server is unavailable at this time then configuring a fallbacksmarthost in sendmail should be sufficient -- http://www.itworld.com/nlsunix070510 If the Exchange server is still available during the 'outage' then you'll need to create a more sophisticated notification script that Does The Right Thing since nagios doesn't know or care about actual notification mechanics. I would use mini-sendmail for the actual notifications since you can specify on it's command line which SMTP server to use (-s). Essentially, - receive notification request/parameters - determine if internet is available - yes, send through Exchange - no, send through remote server - ... - PROFIT! -- 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
