As a matter of fact, I've tried the Debian package only once on a test machine and I don't remember exactly how the layout was (probably binaries in /usr/bin, configs in /etc/nagios, and so on). I use the default installation which puts everything in /usr/local/nagios as it is, imo, much easier to maintain, everything related to Nagios being at the same place. One downside might be the configuration of the backup procedure: you have to remember to save not only /etc and /var but also /usr/local/nagios/etc and /usr/local/nagios/var. -- Thibault GENESSAY ALIADIS www.aliadis.fr Tel. +33 4 72 13 90 40 Fax +33 4 74 22 00 09 - Take Surveys.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
I use 'qpage', which drives a direct attach modem, through a dedicated analog line.

Hi,
I think Ethan announced this on the Nagios Conference as a new feature
of 3.0. But I'm not shure if it's for 3.0 since it isn't mentioned in
the slides.
In a later version timeperiods can be defined on special date basis.
I think it was like
define timeperiod{

tuesday 00:00-24:00

To the best of my knowledge something like this is very much workable

It is the local admin which defines the periods.
The way it can be defined can be used anywhere in the world.
I think both single date and repeating date entries are required to finish
the job. Something like:

My Nagios server is returning this error when executing the check_by_ssh plugin, which also includes the check_oracle plugin. Here's the scenario.
