Survey of Nagios.

[Pascal Miquet]

This is OK I presume,

But how should I take care of nagios notification, if I set  a service
into nagios, and like to notify persons in charge of this service ?
Into the script we just checks the nagios running state.
Any idea ?

    Just to make an appendment to this, I noticed I had it in a test state
    while writing it... here is the actual working copy.. sorry about that
    folks.. enjoy
    
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    open PIDFILE, ("/path/to/nagios/var/nagios.lock");
    $pid = <PIDFILE>;
    close PIDFILE;
    @nag_stat = `ps -ax |grep -e $pid`;
    
    if (@nag_stat[0]) {
            print "nagios running\n";
    } else {
            system('printf "Nagios not running: replace this with external
    command\n"');
    }
