Nagios Variables

[Assaf Flatto]

The marco's are internal to nagios and will not be read from an external 
text file .

there is a way to make nagios macros available to external commands ( 
look for "macros" in the nagios.cfg file)

But what you are trying to do with the message.txt file will fail to 
work as the SendEmail script most likely do not have access to the 
nagios internal macros and there for will not expand them .
