good Morning Marc,

Found the solution.
The check_interval seems CANNOT be skipped (missed) into .cfg file or it will be set automatically.
Have no idea where it takes the default "5secs" value.
Setting it to "0", active checks are still enabled and the value to "0" prevent to schedule regular checks.
On demand checks are done without problems.

Also problem solved!

Thank's anyway for pointing me to the right place!

Simon
