And so does nagios. As I said earlier, nagios does this automatically. To restate - when a host is down, nagios suppresses all e-mail notifications about that hosts services, but will still display them as down in the GUI. It will only send the host down notification. The first section of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html states it best. It still applies to 3.x but I haven't found the section that states it as clearly. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
