Why is mail sendt on first critical event.

[Jack Doyle]

At first glance it looks right to me.. Mine will not send an email until
it's checked three times that there is a problem.

i.e. it can't reach smtp server once... Soft critical.  Second time,
still soft.  Third time, hard critical, email is sent.

Hi All.
A newbie question. How do I send an email when the serice have failed X 
number of times.
One service looks like
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name 
of service template to use
        host_name                       gandalf
        service_description             CVS
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           30
        retry_check_interval            2
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           1120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_tcp!2401
        }

I get an email on first "critical". I only want it when 
"max_check_attemts" are reached.
Can I do that?

/Henrik
