The 'Retention Notes' at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html will provide
insight into how retention works.

Here's

> retain_state_information=0
> state_retention_file=/usr/local/stow/nagios/var/status.sav

We use --

nagios.cfg -
retain_state_information=1
use_retained_program_state=0
state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav

host template -

retain_status_information       1
retain_nonstatus_information    1

service template -

retain_status_information       1
retain_nonstatus_information    1

Notifications are not sent out on restart.
