FW: Host checks

[prashanth guduru]

I am sorry....i overlooked it...i scrolled way over to
the bottom where it was actually describing the
service definition. Its true it doesnt talk about how
you can do that in the documentation. But the
documentation does say that it is going to try it
until the max_attempts, so i guess it keeps running
the command that many times or until the host is up.
Im sure you must have thought about this but you can
actually do this by writing another simple plugin 
that wraps around check_ping.
