HOST DOWN notification not getting resent

[Viraxay Chinyavong]

Hi,

Can somebody tell me why nagios is not resending notification of "HOST DOWN"
after it sent the initial message? Below are my configs of the hosts.cfg and
services.cfg, respectively.

# 'bogus-server-for-testing' host definition
define host{
        host_name                       Bogus
