freshness_threshold question

[Klaus Umbach]

Hi,

I have a local script to backup my Nagios-machine, which writes its status
directly in nagios.cmd. This works fine, but after about 3 minutes after the
OK it switches back to CRITICAL. The service is passive and the
freshness_threshold is set to 26h. Why does it complain after 3 minutes?


Cheers
Klaus
