Notification options for email/pager

[mark]

I'm working on the same problem. I can see the escalation logic, but that 
leaves me with a situation where some warnings might get pages sent and 
with a potentially long delay until a page gets sent. I too wish there was 
some internal logic that said if state=x email and page, otherwise just 
email. 

Bascially, I'm going to implement this in an external script that will get 
run for all notifications. One script for hosts, one for services. I'm 
going to pass all the variabled that are used in misccommands.cfg to the 
script. The script will then just check the $SERVICESTATE$, if it's 
critical, it will send a page and an email. If it's non-critical, it will 
just send an email.

I haven't done this yet though. Before I do, does anyone have input, 
thoughts or another, cleaner, way to select the notification method(s) 
based on the state?
