Disabling service checks when host is down

[arnab.roy]

Hi All,

I would like nagios to stop polling and running service checks against a host which is down, as it is pointless and a waste of resources. Can you suggest how I might be able to achieve this.

Cheers
Arnab

You'd probably have to define a custom event handler to do this, and send a core command directly to the nagios.cmd pipe.

The accepted command pipe names and usage guidelines can be found here.
