Hello Same problem here. Nagios 3.0.3, Debian Etch 2.6.18-6-686
A part of nagios.debug. It includes command definition by itself, so I don't post it. [1232341045.014023] [2048.1] [pid=31719] **** BEGIN MACRO PROCESSING *********** [1232341045.014028] [2048.1] [pid=31719] Processing: '/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$' [1232341045.014099] [2048.1] [pid=31719] Done. Final output: '/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\n\nService: Disk G: Free Space\nHost: serv\nAddress: 192.168.19.99\nState: WARNING\n\nDate/Time: Mon Jan 19 09:57:25 YEKT 2009\n\nAdditional Info:\n\ng:\ - total: 136,73 Gb - used: 125,08 Gb (91%) - free 11,65 Gb (9%)" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** PROBLEM Service Alert: serv/Disk G: Free Space is WARNING **" ad...@some.domain' [1232341045.014107] [2048.1] [pid=31719] **** END MACRO PROCESSING ************* Executing the "/usr/bin/printf" part in the console gives the same output as in e-mail notofications. While writing this message I figured out that adding \n to the end of the string passed to printf resolves the problem. I guess it's not a nagios bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ 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
