Hosts with no services?

[John Senior]

That's a neat way to do it - is there any way you can exclude
particular hosts if you ever needed to?

I'm not much of a programmer so I won't be doing it myself, but
I would love to see the 'serviceless' host added to Nagios - the
number of hosts that I simply 'ping monitor' _far_ outweighs
the number of more complex hosts (by a factor of 100:1 or more!).

Cheers,

John.
