Hello Marc,

yes, I have restarted the nagios a no. of times but no success.
Regarding the host defination I have already posted it in my previous post.
There is a noticeable line like

contact_groups  admins,others    ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

is there anything which prevents my non admin group ?
