Hi!
thanks for a fast answer!
Here are the configfiles i`m using
 
# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)
# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the
# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the
# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
 
# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc)
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
 
# You can split other types of object definitions across several
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a
# single config file.
 
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
 
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
 
# Extended host/service info definitions are now stored along with
# other object definitions:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
 
I will try this now....i`ll let you know if it works:)
 
Thanks
Lelle

go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until you look there.

then find the service definition and change line 

notification_interval           0

to 

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it

	Hello all Nagios gurus!
	 
	I have a irritating problem, when a service goes down/critical i get a notification every second minute! Thats irritating:)
	 
	I`w also read the docs on notifications but still ì havent solved it! Can anyone help me please?:)
	Here are som of my config: snip
