Have you tried calling a .bat file from the 'program' section of the Notification Library. We use a product call AttentionNS. It uses a .exe to call an action/page/escalation. It makes this call to a separate server than our WUG server, thus the 'set' variable allocation is included in the .bat file example below. WUG cannot call the .exe and forward or is not received by AttentionNS proplery. Whatever the case, we push the WUG variables to DOS, DOS in-turn interprets them and makes the call to AttentionNS. DOS is only able to forward/interpret up to 9 variables read through STDIN. So, we just include all 9 in our call (just4fun). You probably don't use AttentionNS, but here is the .bat file anyway. I'm sure you get the whole WUG2DOS ; DOS2ATTN (or whatever) thing.
Here's the .bat file (2 lines): set ATTNSRV=10.50.2.75 attn.exe -a"whatsuptest" -s1 "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" Sam A.

I am trying to use %(services::justdown) but cant get it to work. I get a SVC Down e-mail, but it doesn't list the service that is down. The %(services::down) works OK, but that obviously lists ALL down services not just the ones that went down with the last poll. Also, when I do use the %(services::down) variable it puts Services Up: on the same line as Services Down:, rather than on the line below. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
