Hello Subhendu,

Thanks for your tip.
But if I use event handlers to send custom notifications, there would be 
some drawbacks:

1) I would be unable to send these notifications to the Nagios contacts. I 
would have to hand-code all contacts/emails in a bash/perl script, and 
change the script everytime I add/remove contacts.

2) I would be unable to use timeperiods.

3) I would be unable to use many of the macros I currently use with 
service/host notifications (such as $CONTACT* and $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$)

This could be a suggestion for a future Nagios version... the ability to 
somehow use service_notification_commands and host_notification_commands 
with services templates.
