Event Handler not firing

[Martin, Stanley G [CC]]

BINGO!!!

The file permissions on the logfile wasn't keeping the script from running, it only allowed me to see what was really going wrong. I needed to put quotes around the $SERVICEDESC$ macro in the command definition because the description had spaces in it.  I wouldn't have found that without your help. Thanks.  Just needed someone else's eyes to look at it.

Can you run the script _as the nagios user_? It could be that the script you wrote is using some external program or file that isn't accessible by the nagios user either because of permissions or path issues.

Just a thought.

I finally got an event setup to fire when a service on a Win2K boxes stops running.  However, when the service goes CRITICAL and HARD, the job is not being run.  The nagios.log file says it is, but my script is written in Perl with outputs to a logfile that isn't getting touched.  I can run the script manually just fine.

Any ideas why this isn't actually running the script?  Is there another logfile I could look at that might tell me something?
