I need help configuring Nagios to send notific ations using qpage

[Massey, Craig]

It's been a while, I think with the -i flag you don't need to run it as a
daemon?

We found we had to pipe the message with the last line containing only a "."
from Nagios to qpage.

The command was 
printf "$HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$\n.\n"|qpage -p $PAGERALIAS$

Hi,

Are you sure that you need the -i (interactive) flag ?

I call qpage in a similar way but with just :

command[notify-by-qpage]=echo <service message>  | /usr/local/bin/qpage
<recipient>

you need to make sure that qpage is running as a daemon (qpage -q 10 to
check spool every 10 secs)
and that the spool directory /var/spool/qpage (or whatever you
configured) has the correct permissions.


HTH,
