Monitoring service for every machine in hostgroup EXCEPT ONE

[August Simonelli]

hey kelly ...

i've just done the following in the service entry:

define service{
        hostgroup_name          your_20_server_group
        host_name               !not_this_one_server
        service_description     the_service

etc etc ...

being able to negate hosts seems to work fine in version 2.x (not sure about
1 or 3)
