Not with the commands above. For host notifications, none of the
$SERVICE*$ macros aren't available (nor do they make sense). Try
something like the following --


# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "Notification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" |
/usr/bin/mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTNAME$ is
$HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }
 
You can always look at the Macros documentation page to see what other
information you can include in your notifications if this isn't
sufficient.
