==========================================================================
It’s working fine
$ echo “Hello world!” | /usr/local/bin/gnokii –sendsms +329999999999 -r

but it’s not

define command {
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf “%.120s” “Nagios – $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ ($OUTPUT$)” | /usr/local/bin/gnokii –sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ -r
}

define command {
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf “%.120s” “Nagios – $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ($OUTPUT$)” | /usr/local/bin/gnokii –sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ -r
}
