Checking more frequently when in non-OK state

[Ian Chard]

I have a webserver that I need to monitor, but its webmaster doesn't
want it to be checked more than once an hour.  I want to configure
Nagios so that checks are run once an hour when it's in an OK state,
but once every 60 seconds when it's not OK.

I've read the documentation about normal_check_interval and
retry_check_interval, but I think what I want is something slightly
different:  I still want the alert sent as soon as a non-OK state is
detected, but if I set max_check_attempts to 1 then retry_check_interval
never gets used.

Is there another way around this?

Thanks
- Ian
