nagios macros in scripts

[vvz]

Hello!
I'm going to use nagios to send me phone calls via Asteriks.
I'm going to use eventhandler for - bash script.
Is it possible to use Nagios macros (like $CONTACTMAIL$) in bash script somehow?
Thank you

You can't use them directly within the script itself, but you can certainly pass them in as bash parameters in the event handler, then within the script use $1, $2, etc to get them.

It is *technically* possible to use them directly, but you will have to set certain environment variables first and that will cause some potential load issues.

thank you, I'm completely OK with parameters for scripts
