David,
Thank you for my help. But this will not help me exactly.
I am aware of ths fact that in hosts.cfg I can specify the person I want
the mail to rech to.
I want to achive this task in hostgroups.cfg which I guess is not
possible.I want this particular-person to receive mails for a group of
machines. And I am not checking for any services on these machines. The
person just wants to know if the machines are up/down.
I hope I have made myself clear. Kindly help.

Thanks again,
lalita

Hello Lalita!

The easiest way to do this imo, is to create a new contact group with 
and add this person to that group. Then add the contact group to the 
services / hosts in your hosts / services config files:

define host {
       host_name                       somehost
       alias                           somehost
       address                         172.xx.xx.xx
       use                             generic-host
       check_command                   check-host-alive
       event_handler                   process-service-perfdata
       notification_interval           10
       notification_period             24x7
       contact_groups                  regular-support,particular-person
       parents                         riverstone.agenda.si
}


Hope that helps!
