Actually, I typed that from memory, as I didn't have access to my server 
at the time. That I only go that bit wrong is rather impressive I think ;-)

Anyway, here is the correct extract from misccommands.cfg (this time 
using cut and paste!):

define command{
        command_name    notify-by-sms
       command_line    /home/web/bin/sendSMS.pl $CONTACTPAGER$ 
"$NOTIFICATIONTY
PE: $HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTALIAS$: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$"
        }

define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /home/web/bin/sendSMS.pl $CONTACTPAGER$ "Host 
$HOSTALIAS
$ is $HOSTSTATE$; $OUTPUT$; $DATETIME$"
        }

I do not see why this shouldn't work. Unless it is because Nagios tries 
to use its embedded perl to run my Perl script. Might it be doing that?

Thanks,

Upayavira
