$HOSTNAME$

Hi 

Is this a bug?  I don't get the host associated with the service when I try to use $HOSTNAME$ as a macro when sending service notifications.  Instead I get my local shell environment variable $HOSTNAME.  In other words, if I run nagios on box X, monitoring a service A on box Z, then I get X as my $HOSTNAME$ instead of Z.  Should I be defining my commands differently perhaps?

my notify-by-email command has changed to this:
define command {
command_name                   host-notify-by-email
command_line                   /usr/local/nagios/libexec/host-notify-by-email.pl "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTSTATE$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$OUTPUT$" "$DATETIME$" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

where I wrote my own script to form my email (/usr/local/nagios/libexec/host-notify-by-email.pl).
