Notifications every 3600 seconds (60 minutes). I believe this is what  
you're looking for--

notification_interval: 	This directive is used to define the number of  
"time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this service  
is still down or unreachable. Unless you've changed the  
interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number  
will mean minutes. If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re- 
notify contacts about problems for this host - only one problem  
notification will be sent out.
