Relation between Freshness Check period and service check period

[Sumit Malhotra]

Hi ,

 Is there any relation between freshness check period and service check period ??

 I have observed both work independently i.e. if the freshnesss check is 10 minutes and service check period is 16*5  
The active check(check_command) will be executed out of the service check period(16*5) Am i missing something ???

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sumit
