notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

[Noel Platzke]

So this is working now but I'm not sure why. I deleted the objects.cache
file and restarted and got a host down alert as soon as nagios came up.


On a whim I deleted the cache file and restarted nagios and it sent out a
host down alert. I didn't change anything else.
