When the problem has vanished NAGIOS calls the script again, which then closes the ticket the same way. I tried to make the scripts as independent of the OTRS-version as possible, but as I use a modified copy of the GenericAgent.pl there is problably the need to do some minor adjustments to this perl-script when using a different version of OTRS than 1.2.2. Is there a way to create dynamic jobs (created from commandline parameters) for GenericAgent? Then i could make it completely independend from the OTRS Version.

sorry,... I just noticed that there were still some small errors in the scripts, I post corrected versions later or tomorrow... ...this always happens to me... Am Donnerstag, den 13.01.2005, 16:41 +0100 schrieb Volker Maibaum:
