notification issues

[Chris Knipe]

Hi Marc,

Thanks very much.  I did check error / return codes, they return 0 - still 
triggering alerts.

I have disabled volatile in the services configuration, will see if that 
solves it.

Thanks again,
Chris

As a followup, there is one possibility. IFF the service status is not
OK for each check AND you have is_volatile set for the service, then you
would get an alert for each check. While it doesn't have anything to do
with the plugin output, it may appear that way.
