Did you mean that you want to disable all notifications for all 
*services* on the host if the SSH service is down on the same host?

There would be 3 solutions coming to my mind:

1) Change the "check_command" on the host from "check_ping" to "check_ssh".

2) Manually massdefine servicedependency for all your services on the 
SSH service on the same host.

3) Use the patch proposed in "[Nagios-users] Service dependency for nrpe 
on nagios 3.2.3":

Unfortunately, I did not have time to write tests for my patch since 
tests were failing at checkout before I applied my patch. I will have to 
find some time to check that out again...
