There are two joins on coll_servicestatus in the above, the one in the
from and one with the updating table. You could probably remove the
coll_servicestatus as c, and change references to c to coll_servicestatus
or use a subselect, something like:
update coll_servicestatus set service_status='OK' where
service_status!='OK' and exists (select * from servicestatus as s where
coll_servicestatus.service_description=s.service_description and
coll_servicestatus.host_name=s.host_name and s.service_status='OK');
