host check commands

[Lewis Getschel]

How about setting the services to "no notification" and then setup an 
escalation that does the "actual" notification you would want? If your 
service is checked every 5 minutes, set the escalation to start on 6 
(for (5*6=)30 minute delay). That might do what you want.
