I have read the DOCO and can not find out how to achieve this apart from setting up a user twice once for warnings via e-mail and once for critical alerts via sms. Has any one done this? I have tried rewriting the default notify-by-epager command but I stopped getting any notifications when i changed the command to the following. command_line [ $SERVICESTATE$ != WARNING && /bin/echo -e '$CONTACTPAGER$\n$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ Host $HOSTNAME$ Address $HOSTADDRESS$ Info $OUTPUT$. Sent $DATETIME$' > /var/spool/sms/00netsaint_`date '+%s'`_$CONTACTPAGER$.new ] I then tried to call an external shell script passing the MACROS as parameters but that fails as well. command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_sms.sh $CONTACTPAGER$ $SERVICESTATE$ "$HOSTALIAS$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTADDRESS$ "$OUTPUT$" "$DATETIME$" Any ideas anyone?
