Host assumed to be up?

[Norm Dressler]

The machine was not responding to pings in any way -- the DSL link was
down so I would have thought it would be indicated as 'down'.  I'll take
a closer look at it and post some more config info once I have access to
the monitoring station again.  We are doing some upgrades to it right
now.

Norm,

The "check-host-alive" is a ping command. Does your machine still
respond to pings, even though all the services are down? If need be,
change the check command to check_ssh, check_http, whatever the Service
check is using.
