Service Dependencies

[Assaf Flatto]

Hello 

I'm tweaking around with service dependencies and wanted to ask something that when i think about it 
will fail , but i  still keep the hope that nagios inner logic will not see mt setup so literally 
and work as i hope it will.

I have a host with 23 services checked on it (i have several of those and i'm being lazy hence this 
question) :
i want to define all the services on the server as being dependent on the ping ( connectivity comes 
first , after all) , but instead of type all the other services names , i want to do the "catch 
all" and be done with is .
My question is - will nagios be smart enough to understand that the ping is not included in the * ?
seems logical that it will be excluded since it is the Master service , but i am don't want to 
assume anything.

define servicedependency{
        host_name                       Mickeymouse
        service_description             PING
        dependent_host_name             Mickeymouse
        dependent_service_description  	*
        execution_failure_criteria      c,p,u
        notification_failure_criteria   c,u,p
        }
