<div>Could you crosscheck the part in bold i think it should be /usr/bin/mail -s (you could cd into /bin to see whether the file mail exist in there)<br>
<br>
Also trust your contacts.cfg has been setup properly? if you try the above ensure you restart nagios then try to trigger the notification by shutting down a service you are monitoring. If it still does not work then post output of cat /etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts_nagios2.cfg  
 (OR cat /etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts.cfg).<br>

Hi Kwame,<br>
       If you determine that you can send email from the CentOS box on which<br>
Nagios is running, then be sure that you have specified the contact<br>
group or contacts option for the service or host that you want to be<br>
notified for when something happens.<br>
<br>
For example, to be notified by host specify either contact or a<br>
contact_groups in the host definition:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host</a><br>
<br>
Or, if by service:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service</a><br>
<br>
Or, for things like serviceescalation, hostescalation,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html</a><br>

Cheers,<br>
