That worked great, Recently was looking for something like this in the
cgi.cfg but never found the commands. I guess I should have looked closer in
the manual (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configcgi.html) cause
that made all sense. Adding that to the cgi.cfg worked perfect.

You are right I have been unable to add the action url in the service
definition, due to I have several hostnames for the specific service check.

For example the below DiskE check I have several hosts defined for that
check, how would I go by to replace "johndoehost" so the link will be
correct?
 
http://1xx.xx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=johndoehost&ser
vice=DiskE


Thanks,
PJ
