A couple of examples --


# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e 'Subject: ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **\n\n***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOT
IFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$' | /bin/
mail Service $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME
$CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "Subject: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert
- Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$\n\n***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHos
t: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# 'service-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    service-notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "Subject: Service $SERVICEDESC$
$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\n\n***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHo
st: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s '** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ al
ert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **' $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

> Any good and useful responses would be appreciated.

Unless I'm being very dense, these, and many other command definitions
are created if you install the sample config files.
