Nagios Setup -Macros ??

[sachin holikar]

Hi All,
   
   I have installed Nagios 2.9 on RedHat Linux 4.0 recently. This took a bit of time to configure. Anyways now I have my webaccess set up. Now the main part if to add hosts/services to get their alerts.
  I have also tested it to receive an Email Alert when a service e.g. HTTP is not running.
  My couple of questions are 
   
  1. I have seen on a official website that other forms of alerts are also present like Pager/User Defined action apart from Email Alerts Notifications. We are interested in these User Defined actions. Is it that we can run a particular command or Script itself when any such Alert is generated ?? If yes How do we do it? 
  I have heard that Nagios uses Macros for all these notifications. If yes can we modify them ? How ?
   
  2. Regading Email Alerts, can we alter the Format of these Email Alerts Notifications?? How?
   
  It would be great if some one can atleast guide us in a right direction.
   
  Thanx in advance!!
