The 'u' in services has nothing to do with unreachable hosts. It
only affects notifications being sent on 'unknown' status. It
certainly sounds as though your plugins might want to return just
that if they can't get the data though, assuming they're not
checking network services, ofcourse.

So the answer is actually; "Removing 'u' from notification_options
of services, or from service_notification_options of contacts,
will prevent notifications from being sent on UNKNOWN states."

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.
