Undocumented features in on demand macro code

[Matthias Eble]

Hi All,

when looking to the macro code I found out that passing a group name 
instead of a host name in the first argument is valid, too. But I 
couldn't find any documentation about it unfortunately.

In this case syntax is following:
$SERVICEMACRO:SERVICEGROUP_NAME:DELIMITER$ or
$HOSTMACRO:HOSTGROUP_NAME:DELIMITER$

thus:
$SERVICESTATEID:svc_grp:,$
returns a comma separated list of all the state IDs in the service group.

The output can then for example be passed to check_cluster reporting the 
overall status of eg. a service group - great.

This is definitely worthh being mentioned in the docs if you ask me.

Matthias
