Hi folks,

we've been running into "problems" with icinga not sending out
notifications to all contacts / contact groups until the
notification_interval expires.

Background: A service has two contact groups with different
notification periods. One group receives mails 24x7, while the other
gets notified by pager during workhours, say 0900 - 1700 during the
week. 

What's happening now: If a service goes down at 0800, the mail group
is notified. However the second (pager) group, whose notification
period starts an hour later, won't get notified until the expiry of
the notification_interval (usually 4 hours in our case).

What I would like to happen: If a configuration variable is set (say
"notify_at_beginning_of_notification_period=1"), icinga sends out
notification to each contact group that has not been notified yet at
the beginning of their respective notification interval. 

Implementing it this way would not break backwards compatibility or
change the icinga behaviour unexpectedly. 

Also, from what I've read about them, escalations won't really help
here in the way they are currently implemented. 

Thanks in advance & looking forward to your comments, 

Uwe
