Priority of host versus services

To my knowledge:
Every defined host in hosts.cfg should have at least one service in
service.cfg for things to work well.
The check-host-alive in hosts.cfg does a ping to see if the host is
alive.
If the service defined in services.cfg is check_ping, then
check-host-alive in hosts.cfg and check_ping in services do the same
thing, right?
So if a service check for host A for check_ping is for 24x7, then I will
get notified 24x7
However, if the host actually goes down, then I will be notified only
during work hours?
That makes no sense...
Thank you,
Syed Ali

Neither. If a service goes CRITICAL (or perhaps WARNING), you
will be notified 24x7. If a host actually goes down, you will only be
notified during work hours.

service checks, start here:

Hello,
If I have notification_period set for workhours in
hosts.cfg and notification_period set for 24x7 in services.cfg for the
same host, which one takes precedence?
Thank you...
