scripts to schedule downtime via crontab

[Giles Coochey]

>From the page I linked to:

 

"Set the "trigger_id" argument to zero (0) if the downtime for the specified host should not be triggered by another downtime entry."

 

I don't believe you have a trigger_id set in your script. Try inserting it and see whether that resolves the issue.

 

Check this page, for a similar variable in your service downtime script:

Hi

 

You post a script really similar to mine.

 

I am looking for the www.nagios.org site, but I do not find nor example regarding 2.10 version neither which are "extra parameters" to pass to the command file.

 

Regards

Marco

	#!/bin/sh

	# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME command

	# to Nagios.  Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

	 

	now=`date +%s`

	commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

	 

	/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;host1;1110741500;1110748700;0;0;7200;Some One;Some Downtime Comment\n" $now > $commandfile

	 

	It appears to me that there are some extra parameters in there from version 1.4.1

	Hi all

	 

	On my nagios 1.4.1 I am using script to schedule downtime like these:

	----------------------------------

	HOST Downtime

	#!/bin/sh

	
	datetime=$(/usr/bin/perl -e 'print(time)')

	 

	hostname=$1
	start_time=$datetime
	duration=$2
	(( end_time = $datetime + $duration ))
	fixed=1
	comment_author=nagios
	comment_data="Downtime di Host"

	 

	echocmd="/bin/echo"

	 

	CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios2/var/rw/nagios.cmd"

	
	# create the command line to add to the command file
	cmdline="[$datetime] SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;$hostname;$start_time;$end_time;$fixed;$duration;$comment_auth
	or;$comment_data"

	 

	# append the command to the end of the command file
	`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`
	chown nagios:nagiocmd $CommandFile

	--------------------------------------

	SERVICE Downtime

	#!/bin/sh

	 

	datetime=$(/usr/bin/perl -e 'print(time)')

	 

	hostname=$1
	service_des=$2
	start_time=$datetime
	duration=$3
	(( end_time = $datetime + $duration ))
	fixed=1
	comment_author=nagios
	comment_data="Downtime di Servizio"

	 

	echocmd="/bin/echo"

	 

	CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios2/var/rw/nagios.cmd"

	
	# create the command line to add to the command file
	cmdline="[$datetime] SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME;$hostname;$service_des;$start_time;$end_time;$fixed;$duration;$
	comment_author;$comment_data"

	 

	# append the command to the end of the command file
	`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`
	chown nagios:nagiocmd $CommandFile

	-----------------------------------

	 

	These scripts do not work on Nagios 2.10 ... have anyone something similar for Nagios 2.10 ?

	 

	Regards
