recommended method with Nagios 3 is to run regularly scheduled host checks and then use host check caching as this will keep Nagios from re-running the host check every time a service fails :): http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/cachedchecks.html If you really do not want to use regularly scheduled host checks, set active_checks_enabled 0 in your host definition, then a host check will only be run on-demand when a service check fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
