In short, if a host is set with notification from 8am-5pm, and a service that checks that host is set to 24hrs, will a failed service check notify anyone outside of 8am-5pm?
In a bit more detail, looking at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html and the paragraph about "The fourth host or service filter...." does the notification only go out on the "intersection" of the two schedules? Or does the service notification schedule apply for service check and the host notification schedule apply for host check, and the two have nothing to do with each other otherwise? As a concrete example, I want to do a simple check_load on two hosts, one development server and one production server. The dev server, I only want to get paged on check_load between 8a-5p, whereas the production server I want to be paged 24x7. I create two hosts, devserver and prodserver, w/a notification schedule of 8a-5p, and 24x7, respectively for host check. Right now, I also have two separate service checks: check_load_dev and check_load_prod, the first w/a notification schedule of 8a-5p and the other 24x7. I'm basically shooting to only have one check_load service check, it'll clean up my nagios services listing alot, not to have one -dev and one -prod check for the same thing, w/the only difference being the service check's notification time.
