notify-by-email

[Tom Welsh]

Hi all 

I've just moved from red hat to debian linux and am still experiancing 
niggling probs with nagios. 

My current one is that im not recieving any emails if i get warning 
thresholds exceeded. 

The first part was that the install was looking in /usr/sbin for mail. I've 
now changed the config to look in /usr/bin but i still dont get any emails 
from nagios. i can mail myself fine from the command line. 

My notify-by-email command is vanilla straight from the install. 

# 'notify-by-email' command definition (ORIGINAL)
define command{
       name            notify-by-email
       command_name    notify-by-email command_line    /usr/bin/printf 
'Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n
\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$' | 
/usr/bin/mail -s ' $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is 
$SERVICESTATE$ ' $CONTACTEMAIL$
       } 

Any ideas, i cant work it out, but thats not unusuall as im probably stupid. 

Cheers 

Tom Welsh
