custom escalations

[Sotiroff, Kristian]

i had a service set up on an old box to do this; the event-handler for
the first notification was a command to restart a windows service and
then if it still come back broken, then it escalated into sending
emails.
 
you need (from memory) to set up a dummy contact with their
service_notification_command as the restart and have them as the contact
for the service. 
 
your escalation would then kick in from first_notification 2 -
last_notification 0 and would email as normal.
 
sorry i can't cut and paste a config, but i don't have it to hand any
more.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this one, and not getting very far...

I want to set nagios up to, when it detects a service, say http, down,
it first attempts to re-start that service, once and only once.
If it receives a second alert in a row, it then moves on to contact the
admins as its escalation.

Possibly, it would attempt to notify on the first alert, depending upon
which service it finds down, but, that's the notion.

Can I simply use the attempt to restart as the default notify, and then,
in the escalation starting from the second alert, have it notify the
admins?
