Service / Host dependencies

[Jay Chandler]

Greetings.

I've noticed something odd within Nagios.  Someone will restart a server 
here, and as a result a service check will report an error.  As a 
result, we can (depending on how long the box takes to get up) get an 
alert for every service on the box when it goes down. 

Is there a way to build in a dependency so that if a service goes down, 
it checks to see if the host itself is up before it sends an alert?
