snmptt and nagios, access to nagios.cmd file

[Marco Tirado]

Hello Jim:

Thank you very much for the help, after changing the last line in the
submit_check_result script from the default of:

`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`

to:

sg nagiocmd -c "echo '$cmdline' >> $CommandFile"

everything works fine.

As for my setup, I run nagios 3 and Nagtrap. However I send the
notifications as passive checks directly from snmptt's EXEC statement. I
some special logic in my script to select the right alarm level and then
send it to nagios with submit_check_result. I link to nagtrap using the
action_url in all my snmptrap services.

I catch all the traps in Nagtrap, however only some of them generate alarms.
Whenever an alarm is generated by the selected traps, you can always check
the rest of received traps in nagtrap.

Regards

Marco
