Notification commands

[Aaron Segura]

Did you look at:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Notifications.35.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=627

Seems that with a little fancy macro/template work, you could get what
you want.  We use it for the "Business logic" you mentioned...different
chunks of information can be included/excluded depending on the contents
of any macro.
