Remember that the debug options are additive, so only include what you need to figure out what is going on. I would say just from this conversation that it sounds like your either you timeperiods are incorrect/conflicting exclusions etc. or the notification command cannot be parsed correctly. Remember both the service and contact timeperiods have to overlap for a notification to be sent. Also, it only notifies when going into a hard state. If you have retries, it may require you to submit the critical passive state mutiple times. I usually disable active checks when I do this so a scheduled active check doesn't put the service into an okay state in the middle of forcing a hard critical.

I was re-reading my last message and saw the contact configuration for 
service notifications was set to (n)one. I change that to Critical and 
Warning and applied changes. Yahoo, I got a notification now from the 
service, but not quite what I expected.

The service has a "Connection refused" message yet my notification is:

Type:PROBLEM
Host: login2.mycompany.com
State: UP
Address: login2.mycompany.com
Info: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.25 ms
Date/Time: 17-10-2012


Thanks,
James
