Running a custom python script.

It turns out that I want to turn off a power outlet when I receive these traps. So I need to run a python script when an action is triggered.

In Monotoring -> Events the actions status is ok, but nothing happens. ( the script is supposed to kill power, but power is still on)

Here is what I have done:

- My zabbix_server.conf is setting the path to external scripts like this ExternalScripts=/home/zabbix/zabbix-1.8.2/bin

- I made a media type (script)
Description: powerOff
Name: turnOff.py

- Made added a script:
Name: turnOff.py
Command: python turnOff.py
User: all
Groups: all
Permissions: read

- Added the powerOff media type to the user.
- Added the user and use rmedia to an action which is triggered.

The zabbix_server.log

2984:20100804:112055.126 Error executing [/home/zabbix/zabbix-1.8.2/bin/turnOff.py] [Exec format error]

In the script command."Command: python turnOff.py" I've tried without the "python" in front, but no change. have I missed the syntax? Is it supposed to be a command like exec in front or something?

Just a quick guess, before going home, maybe you need Permissions: execute

The permissions were ok. I didn't know I was supposed to add "#!/usr/bin/env python" in the script: So it's all super ok now.
