Environment variables

[Israel Brewster]

Is there anything special (say, in the nagios config) that I need to  
do in order to use environment variables in my notification scripts?  
 From the documentation, it looks like the various macros should be  
made available as enviroment variables, such as NAGIOS_HOSTNAME.  
However, when I do the following in my shell script:

ADDRESS=$NAGIOS_HOSTADDRESS
NAME=$NAGIOS_HOSTNAME
STATE=$NAGIOS_SERVICESTATE
TYPE=$NAGIOS_NOTIFICATIONTYPE
TIME=$NAGIOS_LONGDATETIME
DESC=$NAGIOS_SERVICEDESC
INFO=$NAGIOS_SERVICEOUTPUT

I get nothing in the notification email that uses the above set  
variables. Additionally, if I dump the output of the env command into  
the e-mail, it doesn't show any NAGIOS_ variables. What am I missing  
here? The goal is for the script to be able to query the appropriate  
environment variables directly, rather than having to have a huge long  
(hard to read) command string that passes in everything from the  
macros as arguments. Thanks.
