For a service notification: Line 666 of notifications.c

/* run the command */
my_system(processed_command,notification_timeout,&early_timeout,&exectim
e,NULL,0);

The subroutine begins on line 575 --

/* notify a specific contact about a service problem or recovery */
int notify_contact_of_service(contact *cntct, service *svc, int type,
char *ack_author, char *ack_data, int escalated){

Note that nagios has no idea what the command actually does. It just
runs the command specified by the user's service_notification_commands.
That may result in an e-mail, a page or anything else.
