service with only passive checks.

[Volker.Aust at premiere.de]

Hi Martin,

First take a look at your service in the web-interface. If you have
configured retention, then your service allready have
"active_checks_enabled" set. Take a look at the option
"retain_nonstatus_information".

Second you can try "check_period none".
