adding info in hostextinfo.cfg

[jeff vier]

hostextinfo has nothing to do with this - it's just extra information
about the host.  There's no script running or anything like that.

If you want a "readout" of a traceroute command upon clicking on the
extra info icon, then write a CGI that does that and link to it (Which
it sounds like you're doing, so I don't know what you're missing that
the hostextinfo otherwise provides).

The title is going to be the same - the host is the host, not
traceroute.  Thus, it's not going to say "traceroute" (if it did, how
confusing would that be?  and, anyway, as I said before, the hostextinfo
def doesn't support a *_description field, so there's nowhere to pull
that information from, unless you want to get into some hacking of the
core code).

The icon should have changed (on the "Service Detail" page, for
instance) or, I should say, should have appeared.  If it didn't, then
there's a pathing issue.

If you want the more info folder thing to change, then put a different
image in the images directory (I did that, too).
