SMS notifications

[Ludo Bosmans]

Hi Jason,
 
I use also gnokii to send sms's.  I don't know your set-up, do you have a
Nokia connected to a serial port ?
Imy configuration i have a modem connected to the serial port and i
establish a call to a local provider smc center. So i am able to drop more
then 1 sms at the time in one connection. Only the call to the smc center is
charged. No charge for the sms's itself.
 
So i can not really simulate, but it seems for me that the $CONTACTPAGERS$
macro is wrong, it must be $CONTACTPAGER$.
 
kind regards,
 
ludo

Hi All, 

I have just setup a mobile gateway on our nagios box (6310i with serial lead
;-).  Got all the SMS stuff working using gnokii which works a treat.
Recommend it to anyone.  However, when I try and get nagios to use a new
notify routine it fails to send the text. 

Debug so far. 

Got gnokii to send SMS direct. 
Added notify-by-sms to misccommands.cfg. 
        I know the above works as I then cut the command from the .cfg and
run it from the command line direct and it works. 

Could this be a permissions thing associated with the nagios user??? 

When I force a host down and look in the syslog the notification does try
and send via the correct command, it seems like just the command from within
nagios is not working. 

Hope someone can help. 

Regards 

Jason 



This is the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGERS$
