problem with service notification

[Narum, Kyle]

You have notification_options defined for your hosts, but not your
services.  If you add at least one notification_option to your
service(s), you should receive the notifications.

Subject: [Nagios-users] problem with service notification

Hi;
I get notifications if the command associated with host exits with a
critical code but if the commands associated with the services exit with
a critical code i dont get notifications.  I am not exactly sure what i
am missing.

thanks
