nagios-plugins 2.3.3
Hardware -- raspberry pi
I am not being contacted. I deliberately put in a check_by_ssh on
a service that does not exist so that it should always fail.
I thought I had set this up so that I would be contacted in the event
of failure (and failure is certain). The web interface does indeed
say that the service is down. But I am not contacted.
I want this to turn on an LED. The command to do so does work -- ie,
the LED comes on.
I've trimmed all my files down to just the one service that isn't working.
