Hi, I am able to get the recovery notifications for services now. I think the wrong syntax used for the host checking command was the root of all the problems. Once I corrected it, I started getting host recovery notification mails. Soon I found that I am getting service revoery notifications as well. I am facing some other problem though. But I will share that problem in another mail. Thanks a lot.

Host checking is to verify connectivity. If you can't connect to a host, neither can you connect to it's services. If you can't PING a host (due to firewalling) but can reach its services, then you need to configure a different host-check method. </blockquote></div>
