Im having no luck with this external command:
/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE>;ack_service\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
Nagios.log shows:
[1647021762] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE>;ack_service
[1647021762] Error: External command failed -> CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE> ack_service
[1647021762] External command [1647021762] CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE>;ack_service returned error Command failed
I am submitting other external commands in the same way with no problems. For the service Im using, --Event Handler (EH) is enabled. --I have an existing EH which differs from the one Im trying to switch to. In nagios.cfg I have check_external_commands=1
Any thoughts?
The debug log isnt any help either:

Well here's the reason. Would have been nice if the error indicated what's going on!
