Macros as Environment Variables

Most macros are made available as environment variables for easy
reference by scripts or commands that are executed by Nagios. For
purposes of security and sanity, $USERn$ and "on-demand" host and
service macros are not made available as environment variables.

Environment variables that contain standard macros are named the same as
their corresponding macro names (listed here), with "NAGIOS_" prepended
to their names. For example, the $HOSTNAME$ macro would be available as
an environment variable named "NAGIOS_HOSTNAME".
