Nagios sending notification to a script...

[nemir nemiria]

Hi there.

Not sure this is gonna be a nagios thing,  but there seem to be some bright 
folk on this list and I am really stuck.

For ages now I have had Nagios 1.2 running great.  I use gnokii to send out 
sms alerts to multiple destinations via a simple shell script like this:

# 'nemir' contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                    nemir
        alias                           Nemir Nemiria
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      notify-by-sms
        email                           nemri at example.org
        }


# 'notify-by-sms' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-sms
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/send_sms "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ with 
$SERVICEDESC$ at $HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$" && /usr/bin/printf 
"%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: 
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: 
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" 
$CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# cat /usr/local/nagios/send_sms
for x in 6135551416
do
echo $1 | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms $x
sleep 10
done
echo `id -un` `date +%c` $x $1 >> /usr/local/nagios/logs



The plan is that it sends out an email to me and an sms to the everyone in 
the team in case of an alert.   I upgraded a couple of weeks back and now it 
doesn't send this sms, though the email is functioning just fine.

I log in as nagios and use the script and it works perfectly.   The logs 
indicate that nagios sent the string to the script correctly (see below),  
just for some reason when the nagios daemon sends the alert to the script it 
deoesn't want to send the sms.

I cleared the log and then tripped the alerts by shutting down one of my DNS 
services.  Note that the last two lines are repeated with different times.  
The first two sent no sms, the second was sent by me as the nagios user 
using the same command as the nagios notification would have sent to the 
script.  You can see they produce exactly the same entry in the log,  but 
the command line use of the script successfully sends the sms.

I can't think of how I can isolate this further.. And so I can't see what to 
do next to try to resolve the porblem.

I'd love it if someone would help me out, or give some suggestions.

THanks!!

Nemir
