Hi,
I am having trouble getting vicq working with nagios.
I have set up the following command definition:
define command{
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf “sms $CONTACTPAGER$/$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTALIAS$: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$” | /usr/local/bin/vicq -b -o -c /var/log/nagios/.vicq/config
}
But I don’t receive any sms’s.
If I log in as the nagios user and execute the command manually it works
perfectly.
If I send the printf to a file with ‘>’ like this:
/usr/bin/printf “sms $CONTACTPAGER$/$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTALIAS$: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$” > /var/log/nagios/output
I see the proper message in the ‘output’ file so I know the notify-by-sms
command it being executed, but the vicq command does not work from within
nagios. I’ve even tried to put:
/usr/local/bin/vicq -b -o -c /var/log/nagios/.vicq/config
inside of an executable file and pipe to the file. Again, no-go, works
manually as nagios user but not from the command definition.
Any ideas?
Does any one use vicq for IM’s or SMS’s with Nagios? If not what are the recommended ways to send SMS’s over the net? (Non modem solution)
TIA,
Chakatz
