Host notifications not working

[Sunny Jaisinghani]

when i migrated from nagios 1.4 to nagios 3.2, i did not add following
lines to contacts.cfg

host_notifications_enabled 	1
service_notifications_enabled   1

Again the same question. the nagios docs say, these lines are
"required". however, my service notifications are working but the host
notifications do not work. 

Why are service notifications working when the above lines are missing
??

macro names are good. I have verified each and every macro I am using
multiple times.
I suspect something wrong with the notification script.

the script works fine when I execute it manually.

But when it comes to nagios, I don't find any record of HOST DOWN/UP
alert.

Without even reading the rest of your email I'll just urge you to check
up on your macro usage. Macro names and availability has changed a lot
between 1.4 and 3.2.3.

When you've done that, make the host notification script just append all
its parameters and the date and time it's being run to a file somewhere
so you know Nagios is running the script. If that works too but your
notification script isn't working, your script is buggy.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
