Ted,

I noticed this afterward. Alternatively, if you stop the program, then
delete the PROGRAM line from status.sav and restart, ALL hosts will be
checked for performance data if their template has it enabled. As an
aside, notifications are then disabled globally too, but that's easy to
fix.

I think the 0 fourth to the left of the last timestamp (this one here ->
0; 1; 1; 0; 1098960004;) can be changed. I ended up stopping the system,
cp status.sav to status.old, start the system, wait a few, stop the
system, then cp status.sav to status.new and look at the difference
between the old and new status files. Ugh.

Good luck finding a regex that will satisfy all your hosts and services
- I pattern matched the 11 0/1 settings and ended up not changing the
hosts/services that have been acknowledged or disabled. But like you
said, it was worth the struggle to me to keep my year's worth of records
and settings as well as not throwing 800 status checks at the perf
handler when I've only got three I care about.
