Host Checks

[Steven Duckworth]

List,

I am a little unclear about the host checking interval.  I have read in the 
documentation that host checks are not  scheduled to execute on a regular 
basis.  I have also read that hosts checks are "run on demand, as nagios 
sees a need" and this is the part that confuses me.   Can someone explain 
how nagios determines when a host needs to be checked?

Thanks
