I have found a provider that will convert Email to Voice but they use $START$ and $END$ for their system to understand the mails. I have altered my mail script as below /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$START$ Alert\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" $END$ | /usr/bin/mailx -s " $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ " $CONTACTEMAIL$ But when I send a test mail I get which just adds a single $ at the beginning and the end, is there a way to do this or is this happening because Nagios users the $ itself, sorry for what may seem a dumb question to you but I just do not know the answer $ Alert Notification Type: PROBLEM Service: FTP Host: test Address: 8x.1x.9x.2x State: CRITICAL Date/Time: Tue May 12 15:53:40 BST 2009 Additional Info: CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds$ Cheers Martyn --- This is because $START$ and $END$ aren't defined in commands.cfg , that is they contain no variable data so it shows as a blank $ - if you need to send those explicitly with no variable in your email/notification, you will likely have to escape the $'s such as: \$START\$ And \$END\$ Hth, Cheers, Jamie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
