supress unreachable messages

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

I'm curious:  Does 'unreachable' also apply to plugins which timeout?

I'm still dealing with the issue of the check_log2 (Perl-based) plugin which
randomly times out (when checked via NRPE).  The client is Solaris-based.

I don't have the timeout problems with any other NRPE plugin on those exact
same Solaris boxes.  It would be great if I could put in the logic of "if
the NRPE times out for this service, I don't want to be notified", at least
for pages.  (I still wouldn't mind seeing the e-mails, in case I eventually
do notice a relationship with some other event on said hosts.)
