Host check doesn't wait in-between checks.

I too wish I had more time between host checks and you've prompted me
to try something in my check_alive script. Would this snippet do the 
trick?

TIMEGAP=10  # number of seconds before host checks

if [ $HOSTSTATE$ = "DOWN" -a $HOSTSTATETYPE$ = "SOFT" ]
then
	sleep $TIMEGAP
fi

exit 2

I would have used ...

if [ $HOSTSTATE$ = "DOWN" -a $HOSTATTEMPT$ -lt $MAXHOSTATTEMPT$ ]
then
	sleep $TIMEGAP
fi

... but oddly there seems to be no $MAXHOSTATTEMPT$ macro.
