Yes, but the question was how to configure the _interval_ between host check retries.

You mean this wrapper should sleep for the desired number of seconds before it returns the result? That's not an option. First, I want a retry interval which is larger than my "host_check_timeout". Second: | when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing | anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service | check results, etc).
