Host and ping service notification

[Alex Dehaini]

Davide,
Make sure you read this very very well

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html

It will answer all your questions.

Also, you can't specify the number of times messages can be sent to you but
you can specify the amount of time to run service and host checks. You can
also specify the state a device is in before it can send notifications.

Alex
