Well. If a service goes missing it might very well be an issue with the
host or even further up the line. So The first thing to do is see if the
host is still there. Then if the host is still there other service
checks will go on. But if the host is down there is little point in
sending out alerts on other missing services untill you got them all
only to report a down host there.

By doing an immediate host check you only have to send a host down
notification and be done with it if the host is down.
