[Nagios-devel] notification inheritance

[Gordon M. <yi...@eb...>]

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.
