Right now I'm working with check_smtp and an event handler that runs via ssh and restarts sendmail on a system if it dies. The check and handler both work, and I get two email notices. The first CRITICAL when sendmail is found to be dead, and then a 2nd saying it's OK after the handler fires and restarts sendmail. What I wanted to see was the output of the handler included at the end of the CRITICAL notice. The sample handler scripts seem to include output, but how can you see that other than in a log? I thought about making the handler itself send email that it's been run, but then I have to have every host able to send mail or ssh to a host that can send mail. That would work in this example since it's sendmail I'm working with but my "real" checks will not be for sendmail nor on hosts that are email enabled nor that I want to have any sort of ssh access back into my network.</blockquote><div> does the -v flag to check_smtp do what you are asking? I am not 100% clear on your needs here. </div> </div>
