I'm a bit confused, where should I display the text?  To the console?  I
tried that, but I don't see the "Done" or "Failed" messages on the console
or in the logs.

#!/bin/bash
echo "nagios event handler" > /home/nagios/anagiosevent
STAT=$?
if [ $STAT = 0 ]
then
echo "Done"
else
echo "Failed"
fi

The only thing I see in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log (and
/var/log/messages) is this...

[1090514070] HOST ALERT: fake_server;DOWN;SOFT;8;CRITICAL - Plugin timed
out after 10 seconds

Thanks,
Chris
