Here's the command I'm using: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log -e 5 -C /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios | mail -s"Nagios Status check (heartbeat)" email@domain.com The command e-mails the check_nagios output as the e-mail body. Is there a way to put it in the subject line instead? I cannot figure it out. I don't think mail will let me do what I want. Is there something else I can use?
