absolutely.

Just echo whatever would be pushed into the nagios.cmd file (manually,
via a script, whatever).

The easiest way (for me) to determine what you should be echoing is to
make sure logging is turned on for whatever action you're trying to do.
Do the action via the web interface, and watch it happen in the logs.

Then mimic it.

As an example, to Ack an alert:
----------
TIME="`date +%s`"
host=hostname
service=Ping
sticky=0
notify=1
persistent_comment=0
acknowledger=Boinger
comment="Paul unplugged the ethernet cable."

echo "[$TIME] ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM;$host;$service;$sticky;$notify;
$persistent_comment;$acknowledger;$comment" > nagios_cmd
