That's true on check-http, but on check-site for one of my servers it has
w,u,c,r and it worked once, but all alerts since then go unnotified.

Also, how do you check a specific URL for http?  It looks like nagios just
uses the address in hosts.cfg and ignores the -H site.com switch you add in
services.cfg.
