using the 'depends' directive

[Scott Hiemstra]

This says don't expect other things to be up if Ping is down.

Host "Thor" {
	graph:	yes
	hostname:	thor.h2web.com
	Service Ping
	Service TCP/FTP {
		depends:	Top:UNIX_Servers:Thor:Ping_thor.h2web.com
	}
	Service TCP/HTTP {
		depends:	Top:UNIX_Servers:Thor:Ping_thor.h2web.com
	}
	Service TCP/SMTP {
		depends:	Top:UNIX_Servers:Thor:Ping_thor.h2web.com
	}
}
