the host check 'check_alive' is not a regular check like service checks.
if a service check indicates a problem, nagios will use 'check_alive' to
verify whether the host is up or not. see documentation chapter "Service
Check Scheduling" paragraph "Scheduling During Problems " and "Host
checks".

see above. there's no regular interval.
