I'm surprised.... It's come up at least a dozen times in the past couple

>From the file UPGRADING --

"Upgrading to Nagios 2.0
-----------------------

If you're upgrading from Nagios 1.0, there will be a few modifications
that you'll need to make to your config files.  Read the "What's New"
section of the HTML documentation for more information."

>From the 'What's New' section of the HTML documentation --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html

"1. Macro Changes - Macros have undergone a major overhaul. You will
have to update most of your command definitions to match the new macros.
Most macros are now available as environment variables. Also,
"on-demand" host and service macros have been added. See the
documentation on macros for more information."
