Re: Fwd: Spam:******, Re: Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: getting mon to execute shell command
The point is mon is perl based, and there already exists a perfectly working sms.alert script, so why re-invent the wheel. Since you are using a debian based system and they are well known for screwing things to their own liking I suggest you investigate your init.d mon script which it is pretty clear where the problem is.

And mind it works, when i start mon -f it executes, but not when i run /etc/init.d/mon start. Why don't you just use the perl sms.alert script? whats the fascination with bash?

yes, now it works, but if i start mon as daemon ,eg /etc/init.d/mon start it doesn't work start mon with the debug flag -d, without -f, and watch the output after it notices the first failure. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

ok, i read a lot about setting paths in your bash profile but that isn't what you mean i think, a daemon is already active without a user logged in? but when i look at my script i specify the path to gammu in the second line : that should be enough or am i thinking the wrong way? #!/usr/bin/bash echo servers down test | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 12345678 yes, now it works, but if i start mon as daemon ,eg /etc/init.d/mon start it doesn't work it's probably your environment. be more explicit with the paths to the programs you call from your alert script by either setting a path at the top of the script or by specifying the full path to each. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

I changed it but still it ain't working.
When i use monshow --showall it lists the fail and the alerts (2)
so that part i think is correct, is there any other log except
/var/log/mon where i can look for a clue?
