just look the contacts defs:

define contact{
        contact_name                    freddy
        alias                           Freddy Frouin
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           freddy.frouin at fluxus.net
        pager                           ff at fluxus.net
        }

with this, you can specify notification period for all your contacts
individualy, so you just have to define multiple virtual contacts for
one phisical contact, you will have:

define contact{
        contact_name                    freddy-email
        alias                           Freddy Frouin Email
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           freddy.frouin at fluxus.net
        pager                           ff at fluxus.net
        }

define contact{
        contact_name                    freddy-popup
        alias                           Freddy Frouin Popup
        service_notification_period     8x5
        host_notification_period        8x5
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-popup
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-popup
        email                           freddy.frouin at fluxus.net
        pager                           ff at fluxus.net
        }

define contact{
        contact_name                    freddy-page
        alias                           Freddy Frouin Page
        service_notification_period     nights-and-we
        host_notification_period        nights-and-we
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-page
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-page
        email                           freddy.frouin at fluxus.net
        pager                           ff at fluxus.net
        }

I hope this help... what do you think about this solution ??

Freddy.
