who is on call?

[Christopher Hunt]

easy, create a test service:

define service{
         use                             generic-service
	host_name                       localhost
         service_description             Notification Check
         check_command                   check-host-alive
         active_checks_enabled   0 ; Active service checks are disabled
         max_check_attempts      1 ; only take one submission to page
         notification_interval           5
         }

[root at pettit-nag ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/nagios-checker
20 8 * * 5 root /root/nagios-checker &>/dev/null

[root at pettit-nag ~]# cat /root/nagios-checker
