Problem executing custom notification perl script

[Francesco Albrizio]

Thanks for your hint, but the script is not really executed because, even with wrong args, on first lines it logs its activation in a file. Now I will try using different shells for launching it.

Thanks again,

Francesco

  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,
