Service checks when host is down

[Hari Sekhon]

good question, it's sometimes more important to know what services are 
down, since you may not remember what that hostname actually does (or it 
could have loads of services on it that you may not be able to remember 
everything that isn't working).

I would also like to consider doing this actually. How should I got 
about this?

If I don't put in a check command in the host definition, will I 
continue to receive service down notifications and not host down 
notifications?

-h
