I have made the necessary changes, setting interval_length=1 to have 
everything in seconds for simplicity.

Quick question: I take it things like "retention_update_interval" and 
"command_check_interval" in nagios.cfg are also affected by this? Or do 
they always work in minutes? (the comments say minutes..)

The comments by "interval_length" seem to indicate this variable only 
affects "host/contact/service configuration files"...
