an eventhandler behaves differently than the notification logic does. so 
*if* you're comparing things, you should look for eventhandlers.

and yet, i doubt the behaviour change unless proven with a working 
example from both core versions.

so your eventhandler wraps the notification logic into its very own 
algorithm and does the voodoo inside. i'd rather look for errors in your 
script then, catching up with "host down, don't send service notification".

that's a very common case that eventhandlers get called even if the host 
is down...
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/eventhandlers.html#execution

and well - for the interested readers - why can't icinga handle the 
notification logic itsself, and why are you using a proprietary event 
handler wrapper for that?

next time, please tell about that in the first place. makes error lookup 
pretty hard if one thinks of notifications, but the user (you) is just 
using eventhandlers. totally different part of the story.
