command in
your host configurations to link something like a terminal. I know
that you
can add something to make a browser come up using something like
“alias

but how would you tell it to open a terminal and telnet to
10.10.10.100. Does
anyone do that? Thanks!</span></font></p>

I think what you really mean to use is the action_url in a hostextinfo
definition, not alias in a host definition.We've used it for ssh://,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="telnet://">telnet://</a> and rdp://, amongst other things, successfully.<br>
<br>
See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostextinfo">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostextinfo</a><br>

Cheers.<br>
