Agreed, that's what they're for and definitely what I (and surely most people) use them for. But they also work well to "handle" "events".

If there are any reasons not to use them for that, or other arbitrary purposes, I'm not aware of them.

I've had success with 'echo -en "\007"' (aka: beep). Have an eventhandler run that whenever you want to get annoyed.

It's fun to use with a remote ssh type handler when you're watching interns try to find a node in a cluster and you're watching on
Netbotz ;)



I'll give eventhandlers a try, but this seems wrong to me. Eventhandlers
should be used as a response to fix what is wrong - in my understanding.
It looks to me that host_notification_commands and
service_notification_commands are the proper way to make a notification
noise...
