Leave out the check_command entirely --

define host {
name h2
<...>
register 0
}

Note that by specifying 'register 0' you are telling Nagios that this is
a template to be applied against a real host definition and not an
actual host definition itself. That really doesn't make much sense when
you specify a 'name' parameter.
