"pure" passive checks and nagios web interface

[Jaap Hogenberg]

Stefan,

In this case, why don't you use the dummy check command 
but set the check-period to "none" in services.cfg

Then you do not have to disable the active checks, leave them enabled as
they will never be run anyway.

Rgrds,

Jaap
