There's effectively no limit within nagios that I am aware of. If there is, I suspect it's if the total command_line length exceeds 1024 or 65536 characters but I don't really think those limits exist unless your shell imposes them. > Because my script received a max. of 9 parameters, is't that right?? In the example from your e-mail, you only saw 8 because the 9th, and last one, was $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ which isn't valid for event_handlers and was therefor null. If you passed other macros that are valid for event_handlers, you would see more. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
