Host check notification problem

[Jim Stosick]

Below is the host definition I have been testing with.  If I shut
down the web server I get service alert notifications every 15
minutes while it is down.

If I shut down the host I get one host alert notification when the
system is detected as down.  There are no repeat notifications even
if the system is down for much longer than the 15 minute
notification interval.  As soon as I bring the system up I get a
host recovery notification.

The Nagios version is 1.2, running on Solaris 8.  I didn't set up
the Nagios server and I'm new to using Nagios.  If there is some
additional information that would be useful in diagnosing the 
problem I can get it from the other config files.
