notification commands based on hosts or services

[Tedman Eng]

Lets say you've got contacts per person per notification type set up.

Joe_email = email notfication
Joe_pager= pager notification
Boss_email= , etc....

I think perhaps you could set up your contact groups accoring to
"notification profiles"
ie.
contact_groups:
general = Joe_Email, Joe_Pager, Boss_Email, Boss_pager, helpdesk_email,
oncall_pager
dev = Joe_Email, Boss_Email, helpdesk_email
test = Joe_Email, Joe_Pager, Boss_pager

In the service template, use 'general' as the default for all services

Then, in each service definition for each host in the dev or test group,
specify a particular contact_group to use and it'll override whatever's set
in the template.
