Service checks

[Hari Sekhon]

also, you are making it more trouble than it needs to be, instead of 
trying to do register 0 and making the last block a template block, just 
put the host name in there and the service description as I hinted and 
that is all you need, you will then have the first 2 blocks plus one for 
each service on each host with different string checks...
