passing macro variables to shell script

[Onsite DeTeWe]

Hi all,

In an attempt to SMS to a number of recipients using a serial connected 
mobile phone and gnokii I have run into a slight snag.

The only way you can get gnokii to send to multiple destinations is to set 
up a script like this

for x in 040404040 1414141 
do 
echo 'Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: 
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\nDate: $DATETIME$' | 
/usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms $x 
sleep 60 (if you need this?) 
done 

And run this script from the misccommands.cfg file when the trigger is 
activated.  Of course it would be nice to have the macro $xxx$ values sent 
as well but this does not happen in the above example. 

Does anyone have any idea if it is possibe to parse variables from nagios 
to an external shell script.

Kind reards

Jason
