Number of Notifications!?

[Hari Sekhon]

go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually 
using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until 
you look there.

then find the service definition and change line

notification_interval           0

to

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you 
haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it
