Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I have followed below scripts for scheduling downtime for respective hosts.
#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME command
# to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;nagios-test;1539852657;1539853857;0;0;600;nagios;Test Downtime Comment\n" $now > $commandfile

if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then
echo "Works....";
fi

[root@test ~]#
[root@test ~]# cat /etc/group | grep nag
nagios1000:
nagcmd1001:nagios,apache
[root@test ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled

but getting error as below
