notification command

When you execute the script from the command line, what values do you
pass for $CONTACTS$, $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$, $HOSTADDRESS$ ? 
 
What happens when you pass null values? Possible that somehow those are
null in your config and the script is puking? Just kind of musing there.
 
you could also try tuning up nagios debug logging a lot - i believe that
will trap and log the way nagios is calling your script (??).

	Thanks but I've tried this already, no file created
unfortunately. I'm sure Nagios doesnt run script even the notification
command is executed.

	Yes I thought that this was a script issue. But please note that
this script works fine and sends mail when executed on command line by
Nagios user. So the differences between command line and Nagios executed
script are 2 things:

	-          It is being executed by Nagios not manually.

	-          I pass some Nagios values to script as argument like
$CONTACTS$, $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$, $HOSTADDRESS$ etc.

	I would echo the earlier post - add a line like :

	echo "I ran" >> /some/log/file

	 

	to your wrapper and something simlair to your PHP script. Sounds
much more like an issue in the sh script or PHP than a nagios issue.

		In fact I've done this like just in the beginning of
script I'm using a /bin/mkdir command but script doesn't create this
folder when used as nagios command. This means that nagios never runs
the shell script. But in nagios log I see that it is called just after
the state of check is changed.

		Php code....is this launched from the web? Does mail get
sent from Nagios typically?  If this is launched from the web, make sure
apache has execute rights to the script as well.

		Hi,

		I've written a shell script which is calling a php code
and I'm using this shell script as a notification command.

		It runs fine when tested on command line executed by
both root and nagios user. But if used as nagios notification command, I
cant receive any mail.

		Nagios logs show command is executed but in mail log I
cant see any mail sent.

		Owner of script is the nagios user. It is being called
by /bin/sh, all arguments in it is being exported. In nagios
documentation it tells any command which can be run on command line can
be used as a nagios misc command but I couldn't succeed sending mails.

		What do you think the problem is or in which log I can
see why it doesn't send mails?

		 

		Any help will be appreciated.

		 

		Thanks

		Cem
