Problem executing custom notification perl script

[Francesco Albrizio]

Evolution: now all is working, but I don't understand why. I had to modify rights on the script, but not execution and reading rights (that there were before), I had to add writing (!) permission to nagios group and rest of the world (i.e: chmod 777 <script> instead of chmod 755 <script>). It seems that nagios pretends to allow to other users to write in this file.

Why? Perché?

  Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem executing custom notification perl script


  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,
