Notifications wth escalations

[Volker.Aust at premiere.de]

You have to set up a second contact ("nextel-contact"), which has
"notification_period oncall" in a second contactgroup ("nextel-contact-grp")
and the following escalation for services:

define serviceescalation{
	host_name			your-host-name
	service_description	your-service-name
	first_notification	3
	last_notification		3
	notification_interval	xxx	; the same as in the service
definition
	contact-groups		mail-contact-grp,nextel-contact-grp
	}

or for hosts:

define hostescalation{
	host_name			your-host-name
	first_notification	3
	last_notification		3
	notification_interval	xxx	; the same as in the host definition
	contact-groups		mail-contact-grp,nextel-contact-grp
	}

You can have a comma seperated list of all hostnames for "host_name", which
have to share the same escalation.
