seperating notification types based on timeperiod and nothing els e??

[terry]

You don't have to set up two contact groups.

Simply set up two timeperiods... one for when they should get E-mail 
(which is always?) and one for when they get paged.

Create a user that gets paged, and a user that gets E-mail and add them 
to the one contact group.

Nagios will figure out when to send what based on your time periods.

Hope that helps,

- Terry
