I've got Nagios 3.0.2 working on Ubuntu 8.04 & the email alerting part is working fine.I've decided to add SmS functionality, so installed Gammu & have got this working. If I run :-/usr/bin/printf "This is a test" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 1234567890from the terminal (replace 1234567890 with a correct number) I can send TxT messages fine.I added these lines to the COMMANDS.CFG# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definitiondefine command{command_name notify-host-by-smscommand_line /usr/bin/printf "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$}# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definitiondefine command{command_name notify-service-by-smscommand_line /usr/bin/printf "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$} & this line to the CONTACTS.CFGdefine contact{contact_name Lienalias Lienservice_notification_period 24x7host_notification_period 24x7service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,shost_notification_options d,u,r,f,sservice_notification_commands notify-host-by-smshost_notification_commands notify-service-by-smsemail *******@***********pager 1234567890}I get the email alerts fine & if I look in the NAGIOS.LOG file it has tried to run the SmS command[1214991948] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: Lien;Server;Drive Space C;WARNING;notify-host-by-sms;c:\ - total: 5.82 Gb - used: 5.13 Gb (88%) - free 0.69 Gb (12%)But I get no text message. I've enabled login on Gammu & there is nothing in the log, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with Nagios & the way I've set it up. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where I should be looking next. I did logon as the 'Nagios' account & test the printf | gammu command works without SUDO. I've also shortened the command line, just in case Gammu did not like the way it was formulated, to
 
command_line /usr/bin/printf "***** Nagios *****" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 0123456789
 
& still no message. Is there another log I can look at/enable so I can see any errors.
