Nagios + SMS = Triplicated SMS Messages?!

[kristiaan_d]

Hi Everyone,
Firstly i am not sure what Config files you may need so if you let me know i can post them as needed to help resolve any problems i am getting.

So here go's - i have Nagios installed and three contacts setup to receive email messages when things go wrong within our network, I recently added a new Command to Nagios's command.cfg file this is designed to be called when ever a problem is found with a host or service

however our first test of the system caused it to generate three SMS messages per recipient, which did not seem to match the amount of emails that were sent for the error, i am guessing this is a problem within my config files but i have no real idea where to look regarding this as the email warnings are correct and each person only gets one message each.

Figured i would post an update to this question as it seems to have been viewed a lot but no help offered.

I am still getting the same problem does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you send the full command definitions that you created for sending the SMS messages? Also perhaps an example host or service config that calls this command?

Hi here is a copy of the command i created for the sms script, please be aware i have had to sanitise some usernames and password out of the list, also i have removed the domains on the email addresses to avoid spam

if you need any more info please let me know.
