problem with frequence of service checks

[Ethan Galstad]

It could be that the child processes in which the plugins run are 
dying off for some reason.  If the processes don't report the plugin 
status back to the main process the service check never gets 
rescheduled.  I'll be re-examining the scheduling process in 2.0, but 
for the time being I would recommend that you enable the 
"check_for_orphaned_services" option in the main config file.  Watch 
for error messages in the log file that might indicate that a service 
check was "orphaned" (i.e. it never reported back to the main 
process).  Details on this option can be found at:
