controlling notifications a bit better

[Gavin Cato]

Thanks marc, but no go :(

Here is my config. If this host is down I get an alert within a min or
so of starting nagios.

Can you see why in my config? Cheers

# 'yum_6683' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use

        host_name               yum_6683
        alias                   yum_6683
        address                 192.168.182.1
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      15
contact_groups                  yumstores
        notification_interval   1440
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

        host_name                       yum_6683

        }

That should do it. Make sure you don't have multiple nagios processes
running. Post config sections if you need further help.

~12 minute delay to notification --
    max_check_attempts             4
    retry_check_interval           3
