Specifiying an contact method for winpopup mes sages

[Greg Vickers]

Yes, I am currently using the pager variable to store the machine name :) 
This is fine until I implement the paging side!

I can create a command that has the machine/user-names hard coded, but I'd 
like to have the machine/user names contained within the contact 
definitions (and not loose the OO structure!)

Is there something funky I can do with USERx args?

TIA,
GV

p.s. yes, i've ensured that the nagios user names are sync'ed with our 
QUT/Local Domain user names so my users won't get confuzzeded :)
