+ <strong><u>Macros as Environment Variables</u></strong>
+ </p>
+ 
+ <p>
+ Starting with Nagios 2.0, most macros have been made available as environment 
variables.  This means that scripts that are run from Nagios (i.e. service and 
host check commands, notification commands, etc.) can reference these macros 
directly as standard environment variables.  For purposes of security and 
sanity, <a href="#user">$USERn$</a> and "on-demand" host and service macros are 
not made available as environment variables.  Environment variables that 
contain macros are named the same as their corresponding macro names (listed 
below), with "NAGIOS_" prepended to their names.  For example, the <a 
href="#hostoutput">$HOSTNAME$</a> macro would be available as an environment 
variable named "NAGIOS_HOSTNAME".
