Who are you running that command as? Make sure you're doing it using "su [user] -c [command" - that way you can replicate the situation as it would be from inside Xymon.

When that particular host is green nothing happens. When I make it red and I run that command I receive an email with the info that's defined in the command.
I think we're making progress tracking this down. It appears that things are working via command line, just not when automated.
Thank you.

Your notifications.log file shows that the alerts are being generated, so we can now rule out problems with the alerts.cfg configuration.
