Specifiying an contact method for winpopup messages

[Greg Vickers]

Hi all,
I want to be able to define in a contact a machine name that I can send a 
winpopup message to.

so i'll have the following commands:

host-notify-by-email.command.cfg
host-notify-by-pager.command.cfg
host-notify-by-winpopup.command.cfg

And host-notify-by-winpopup.command.cfg looks like this:

define command{
    command_name host-notify-by-winpopup
    command_line printf "\"$HOSTALIAS$\" at IP $HOSTADDRESS$ is in a 
$HOSTSTATE$ state.\nThe output from the host check command: $OUTPUT$" | 
smbclient -M $MACHINENAME$ -U "Nagios Monitoring Station"
    }

And a contact definition contains:

define contact{
     ...
     machine_name        adminstation
}

Obviously there isn't a macro in nagios called MACHINENAME that you can 
define in a contact, but you get the idea - a variable that I can define in 
a contact and have it passed to my winpopup command. Any ideas?

TIA,
