The documentation for object inheritance[1] indicates that where a
notification_period is not available for a service, the
notification_period from the associated host will be implicitly inherited.

In my nagios configuration, I have a number of services which are
applied to hostgroups. Rather than inheriting any notification period,
each service has a "NULL" notification period which is treated as a
'24x7' period. With the attached patch, nagios will check for a NULL
period and use the period from the associated host as the documentation
states will happen.

I have no idea whether or not similar issues exist with the other
implied inheritance values.
