The documentation says :

define service{
     host_name            somehost
     service_description        HTTP
     max_check_attempts        4
     event_handler            restart-httpd
     ...other service variables...
     }

define command{
     command_name    restart-httpd
     command_line    
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-httpd  $SERVICESTATE$ 
$STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
     }


Can you show me an example of executing a command on a remote host (and 
not executing on localhost) ??


Kind regards,

Jonas.
