$HOSTSTATE$ remains as Down?

[Wil Schultz]

Looks like I may have misstated my problem, apparently I was simply  
not receiving the HOST UP email thanks to my fat fingers mucking up  
the hosts.cfg

What is happening is that I am seeing a DOWN notification every  
minute, this is why I thought I was getting the wrong alert. I've got  
a v2.7 box up and running quite nicely and I've compared the configs  
and do not see any differences. Obviously I am missing something  
here, any suggestions why DOWN notifications are being sent every  
minute?

Host config looks like:

define host{
         name                    host
         check_period            24x7
		checks_enabled			1
         check_interval          3
         retry_interval          1
         max_check_attempts      3
         check_command           check-host-alive
         process_perf_data		0
		retain_status_information       1
		retain_nonstatus_information    1
         flap_detection_enabled	1
         event_handler_enabled	1
         notifications_enabled	1
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_interval   120
         notification_options    d,r
         contact_groups          email
         register                0
         }
