plugins 1.3.1 basic problem

[ian at kingcon.com]

Im wondering where in the documentation it tells explicitly how to make the plugins work with the nagios distribution.

I downloaded (a non beta thanks for the hint) distribution, 1.2, installed it.  Then downloaded the 1.3.1 distribution of the nagios plugins.  

Currently my nagios etc folder has a checkcommands.cfg, from various help files I gather I must use the command.cfg file in the plugins distribution.  From that file I gather I must use the convertcfg file to convert the commands file to a commands object type.  When I do this and replace checkcommands.cfg with the command.cfg in the nagios.cfg file, it still tells me I have invalid arguments in the command.cfg file, just like it did in the checkcommands.cfg file.  

Im probably confused, but Im interested.  So if the above sounds stupid tell me.  I've looked through the docs and I see the sections on making these object files... but if I cant use the suplied commands file, how do I go about figuring out all the arguments for the different commands to build it from scratch?
