[hobbit] Purple Status

[Geoff Hallford]

If the ping (conn) check fails ... all other checks on that host
automatically go into basically a null status and they will not alert by
default. Only if you have a host that is NOT monitored by ping, do you need
to worry about putting in "depends" checks.
