I belive that is handled by the 'Check For Orphaned Services' option:

"This option allows you to enable or disable checks for orphaned service 
checks. Orphaned service checks are checks which have been executed and 
have been removed from the event queue, but have not had any results 
reported in a long time. Since no results have come back in for the 
service, it is not rescheduled in the event queue. This can cause 
service checks to stop being executed. Normally it is very rare for this 
to happen - it might happen if an external user or process killed off 
the process that was being used to execute a service check. If this 
option is enabled and Nagios finds that results for a particular service 
check have not come back, it will log an error message and reschedule 
the service check. If you start seeing service checks that never seem to 
get rescheduled, enable this option and see if you notice any log 
messages about orphaned services."
