Example: "Landesk Login Alert: Remote control session started with machineA from DOMAINNAME\username using Windows NT security" is the output of the command, which shows up correctly in the web interface. But when an email is sent using this entry in the miscommands.cfg: command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$ | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } All I get is this: "Landesk Login Alert: Remote control session started with HTNWLOGGER from DOMAINNAME" and it seems to be cutting off at the "\" in the output. Is there anyway to format this so that it changes the "\" to something else or anything so I can get the entire output without the truncation? Any help would be appreciated.
