Could you provide me with more information on this?

I understand this.  I just viewed it as I told nagios to send one  
notification at a specific point, so I was surprised when it started  
sending acknowledgement emails.
So there isn't a specific option to disable acknowledgments?


escalation_options      c

^^ implies to me, that it will ONLY send escalation emails on critical  
status.  I think there should be a field similar to this that allows  
enabling/disabling the acknowledgement email.

Either way, whether you agree that this is something that should be  
easily user-configurable or not, can you tell me specifically how to  
stop this behavior?
