Not possible to send test notifications?

[bostonangus]

I'm looking for a straight forward way to send test notifications.

I'd like to do this without having to write a custom check/test, and without having to purposely trigger a real problem to force the notification.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Copy the command_line field from your notification command, replace all the appropriate macros by hand, and run the command as the nagios user.

Perfect, thanks!
