check_period none ; The check is NEVER initiated by the Nagios Server
notification_interval 15 ; Re-notify about service problems every 15 minutes
max_check_attempts 1 ; Check the service up to 2 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
check_command check-host-alive ; This is used to manually "reset" the status of the service
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
