Hi everybody,

for defining event handlers the documentation tells me to do it as foll=
ows:

define service{
host_name somehost
service_description HTTP
max_check_attempts 4
event_handler restart-httpd
...other service variables...
}

define command{
command_name restart-httpd
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-htt=
pd
$SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
}

This way it works fine. But I would like to give over some arguments to=
the
command.

define service{
host_name somehost
service_description HTTP
max_check_attempts 4
event_handler multi-purpose-handler!http
...other service variables...
}

define command{
command_name multi-purpose-handler
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/
multi-purpose-handler $ARG1$ $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT=
$
}

But the macro definition tells me, that this is not possible. In fact t=
his
doesn't work.
Is there a special technical reason, why it is not possible to give
argumets to event handlers?
