I've created the following command to send nagios alerts via whatsapp. This command sends the alerts to a whatsapp group.

/usr/bin/yowsup-cli demos -c /etc/yowsup-cli.conf -s 49phonenumber-1471509469 '***** NAGIOS Notification ***** -- Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ -- Service: $SERVICEDESC$ -- Host: $HOSTALIAS$ -- Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ -- State: $SERVICESTATE$ -- Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$ -- Additional Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$ -- Duration: $SERVICEDURATION$'

Now, when it is executed from nagios it doesn't work, but a similar command from the shell works without issues.

yowsup-cli demos -c /etc/yowsup-cli.conf -s 49phonenumber-1471509469 "text to send"

On the nagios logs there is no error related to this command. Is there anything I'm missing here. Please help. thanks.

Enable debugging in Nagios and check the debug file instead. – Jim Black Aug 20 '16 at 20:31
I did but it doesn't show any error in the debug as well. The command is executed normally. I can see the "message sent" for yowsup but I'm not receiving it. Could it be that nagios treats the "-" character differently. Maybe I need to escape it? – Erjol Bane Aug 22 '16 at 07:20
I was able to fix by adding the "-M" parameter to yowsup-cli command. – Erjol Bane Aug 22 '16 at 13:28
what does -M parameter stand for? – sinaps1 Aug 19 '20 at 12:04
