I'm not sure why it says that. To date, all I've ever used is the simple
command.
CAVEAT: The command referenced by check_command is NOT the plugin binary.
At least not directly. What you're specifying with check_command is
actually a token which needs to be defined in checkcommands.cfg. *This* is
where you reference the plugin binary. In many cases (in a brand new
install), the names of the tokens are identical to the plugin binaries,
which tends to derail Nagios newbies. I know it did me.
