Custom Service Notification

[Victor Lanza]

Great, that's exactly what I was missing; I was unaware that it used the
same normal notification commands. I was going nuts trying to figure where
it would get such command and how I would even write one if it needed to be
written. :)

Thanks it worked.

I don't use nagios-3 yet but again, my reading of the code is that it uses
the normal notification command{} specified for the contacts. If your
host/service notification command{} definitions use the
$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ macro, then the comment will be included in the
e-mail.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html#notificationcomment

$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$     A string containing the comment that was entered
by the notification author. If the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is set to
"DOWNTIMESTART" or "DOWNTIMEEND", this will be the comment entered by the
user who scheduled downtime for the host or service. If the
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT", this will be the comment
entered by the user who acknowledged the host or service problem. **If the
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is "CUSTOM", this will be comment entered by the
user who initated the custom host or service notification.**

(emphasis mine)
