Problem executing custom notification perl scr ipt

[Pettersson, Magnus]

Just a thought.
If your $OUTPUT$ contains any " they may terminate that argument. Try and
switch to '
 
/magnus

 

Hi all,
 
I've written a perl script that, when called by nagios like a normal
notification command, access to a remote mssql server updating a database.
In the miscommands.cfg I have the following lines for command definition:
 
# 'master_host'
define command{
        command_name    master_host
        command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/master_notify_host.pl
$HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $CONTACTEMAIL$ $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
"$OUTPUT$" "$DATETIME$"
        }
 
Everything works fine if I call the master_notify_host.pl script by hand,
even from user "nagios" in a scheduled cronjob. In nagios.log, it appears
that the script has been executed, but it seems not true :) Plus: I'm not
using the nagios embedded perl interpreter, just normal perl.
 
Some ideas? This thing is making me become old very quickly :)
 
Thanks guys,
