<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The email works fine in all scenarios but I have a text message issue in the sense it doesn’t send out a text message if notification 2 is a recovery text!
<span class="spelle">Nagios</span> doesn’t even seem to run <span class="grame">the notify</span> by SMS command!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
