define service{
        name                            clam-AV-service
        use                             generic-service
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           90
        retry_check_interval            90
        contact_groups                  Clam_AV, operators
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_interval           90
        notification_period             24x7
        register                        0
        }

I have the above service template. Sometimes the AV scans take longer than 4.5 
hours to run and nagios sends an e-mail when one of the services is in
an unknown status (this is coming from a custom check script I wrote, that 
interfaces with the output of a clam-AV front end I also wrote).

We really only care to notify about warning and unknown status from the service 
checks that use this template between the hours of 6 am and 6, but we
care about critical alerts (it found a virus or scan hasn't run in x datys or 
freshclam has not run in y days) 24x7.

Is there a way to do mixed notifications so that warnings/unknown use time 
period 'workhours' and criticals/recovery use '24x7' in the same service
template?

Otherwise my choices are increase the check attempts or not notify between 6pm 
and 6am for everything.

Any input greatly welcome.
