I don't have escalations in place.  My contact is rather simply defined.

I still do not get more than a single host notification.  I've had the host 
down for over 24 hours now.  Again I note the Nagios log shows nothing 
after the first alert goes out.  Again, here is the complete definition of 
the service.  I believe I should be getting a notification about every 2 
minutes that the host is down.

define contact {
    contact_name                    test-service
    alias                           Test Service
    service_notification_period     24x7
    host_notification_period        24x7
    service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
    host_notification_options       d,u,r
    service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
    host_notification_commands      notify-by-email
    email                           page-quanah
}



define contactgroup {
    contactgroup_name   ldap-qsys-admins
    alias               LDAP Test Host Administrators
    members             test-service
}


define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name  ldap-qdev-group
    alias           LDAP QDev Group
    contact_groups  ldap-qsys-admins
    members         ldap-dev1
}

define host {
    name                    ldap-qother-template
    check_command           check-host-alive
    max_check_attempts      2
    notification_interval   2
    notification_period     24x7
    notification_options    d,u,r
    notifications_enabled   1
    register                0
}

define host {
    use         ldap-qother-template
    host_name   ldap-dev1
    alias       ldap-dev1
    address     ldap-dev1.stanford.edu
    parents     smr-a-3548
}

define contactgroup {
    contactgroup_name ldap-qapp-admins
    alias             LDAP Administrators
    members           test-service
}

define service {
    name                    ldap-qother-template
    max_check_attempts      3
    normal_check_interval   2
    retry_check_interval    2
    check_period            24x7
    notification_interval   3
    notification_options    w,u,c,r
    notification_period     businesshours
    contact_groups          ldap-qapp-admins
    register                0
}

define service {
    use                 ldap-qother-template
    hostgroup_name      ldap-qdev-group
    service_description Disk
    max_check_attempts  3
    check_command       check_disk!20%!10%
}

Nothing further is logged by Nagios for this host and its services, ever 
after several hours.
