Thanks :-) Yeah, that's how I had it when I was running 2.x. It just seemed more intuitively obvious to go with host checks once 3.0 made that a reasonable option, since it was the host state, not a service state, that we were monitoring. That's ok though. I was just wondering if there was a better way. Apparently not :-) Thanks again everyone! ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- > > > -- > Marc > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference > Don't miss this year's exciting event.
