qpage doesn't work through nagios, help!!

[Evan Mann]

Can someone help me here.  Here is the relevant files.  I know it's not a
problem with printf since my notify-by-email's use that fine.  I can't
figure else what else it can be.  qpage is not accepting the page went sent
through nagios.

crwxrwxrwx    1 root     dialout    4,  64 Jan 21 11:58 /dev/ttyS0
-rwxrwxrwx    1 nagios   nagios      91687 Dec 31 09:40
/usr/local/bin/qpage*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        16348 Jul 26  2001 /usr/bin/printf*
drwxr-xr-x    9 root     root        21504 Jan 20 15:40 dev/

# 'host-notify-by-qpage' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-qpage
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "$HOSTNAME$/$HOSTSTATE$ $OUTPUT$" |
/usr/local/bin/qpage -d -p $CONTACTPAGER$
}

make sure the nagios user has permissions to write to the modem device - 
/dev/cua/b or whatever it is.
