[Spam] acknowledge triggers a script

[Ryan Davis]

You might be able to do this with an event handler:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html

But I'm not sure if the handler will be run when someone acknowledges. 

I can think of one round-about way to do it:

    * make a wrapper program for your fix-it script that checks to see
      if NOTIFICATIONTYPE is "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT", and if so, calls the
      fix-it script.  Any other notification type is ignored.
    * make a nagios command to call your wrapper program
    * make a nagios contact for your fix-it script, tell it to use the
      above nagios command as the service notification command
    * make a nagios service escalation to notify your fix-it contact all
      the time

When the service is acknowledged, nagios will notify your dummy fix-it
contact, who will call your fix-it script.

I *think* that would work.

HTH,
