Convert attachement bin to txt

[vinothsethuram]

$SERVICEOUTPUT$ will give the few details in email. But $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ is responsible for attaching .bin file. I need to convert it to .txt

Yep. Try changing your command to show $SERVICEOUTPUT$ right before the $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$:

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$\n " | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

Adding $SERVICEOUTPUT$ will not change the file type .bin to .txt

Added SERVICEOUTPUT. But still getting file as .bin

Okay, and now can you PM that new file?

Do me a favor and check the file type of the .bin file on the linux server:

Code: Select all

file ATT00002.bin

I think line endings might be screwing up the mailx client:

No such files(ATT....bin) in my Linux machine

[tmcdonald]

I guess I worded that poorly:

Transfer the file to your linux machine and then run the command to check the file type.

[vinothsethuram]

I transferred the file using smbclient and checked the file mime type.

mime type:- text/plain
mime encoding :- us-ascii

ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators

But email is having attachment as .bin. confused...

Thanks

Can you PM me an exact copy of your /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg file?

In addition what is your mail version?

Code: Select all

mail -V
