service checks and timeperiods

[Lori Adams]

Below are my configurations, and the error I get when doing a verify.
define service {
        use                             generic-service-template
	  host_name				    bar
        service_description             doneQ
	 #service_description		    doneQ-morn
        check_command                   check_doneq!500
        contact_groups                  r2-admins
        check_period                    5am-to-10am
        normal_check_interval           5
        }

define service {
        use                             generic-service-template
	  host_name				    bar
        service_description             doneQ
        check_command                   check_doneq!200
        contact_groups                  r2-admins
        check_period                    all-but-5am-to-10am
        normal_check_interval           5
        }

Error: Service 'doneQ' on host 'bar' has already been defined

Error: Could not register service (config file
'/srv/http/nagios/etc/services.cfg', line 467)

What I want is for in the UI, there should be one visible check.
Currently in the UI, it says doneQ, and doneQ-morn (see comment in first
config), as I have to prepare two different checks because of the
different thresholds.

You can. Just s/timeperiod/check_period/ and you're good to go. 
notification_period is also a viable option.
