Event handlers not executing - Nagios 1.05b

[Ethan Galstad]

If you had this service previously defined with the event handler 
disabled, chances are its still disabled.  This can happen if you 
have state retention enabled and non-status information for the 
service is being retained.  Check the web interface to see if the 
event handler is enabled or not.  I'm guessing its not.
