[Nagios-users]

[Sanderson, Andrew]

Thanks for your help

I can make the script work if I hardcode the servername or ip address.

My check command for the event handler looks like this

# 'restart-spooler'  command definition
define command{
command_name	restart-spooler
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-spooler.sh
$SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
	}

The script I use which is located in the eventhandler directory looks
like this

rsh carling net start \"Spooler\"


This works but only for the one server carling.

What can I change in the scripts for nagios to read a variable instead
so that I can run the same script against multiple nt servers?

I am new to linux and nagios.

Thanks again

Andrew Sanderson.

Depending on how you have your active directory/nt4 domain structure set

up, they should respond as an IP (as in \\10.10.0.1). If not, you can
make 
sure that /etc/hosts is up to date and use a hostname instead of an IP 
address for $HOSTADDRESS$. I'd definitely want it to be the former, but
the 
latter is a workable solution, just requires a wee bit more maintenance.

Also, if you're passing this to an external command, why not just add 
another argument for the servername?
