Check your interval_length in nagios.cfg.  That determines how long a
single unit it.

If "30" gives you 30 minutes, then it's probably set to 60 (60 seconds/1
minute).  Sticking an "s" on your retry interval isn't going to change
anything; it'll just be ignored.

You'll need to adjust your interval if you want things to happen in
under 1 time unit (in the default case, 60 seconds).
