minimal.cfg file

[David Turner]

I just installed nagios and the online way I could get it started is by
commenting out the following lines in the minimal.cfg file  The service
starts now, but I am wondering why I had to comment out the lines and if it
will affect anything.
 
 
 
#define command{
#       command_name    notify-by-email
#       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotificatio
n Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress
: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditiona
l Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$
SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
#       }
 
 
# This is a sample host notification command that can be used to send email
# notifications (about host alerts) to contacts.
 
#define command{
#       command_name    host-notify-by-email

#       }

#       command_line    $USER1$/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#       }
 
 
# Command to check the load on the local machine
 
#define command{
#       command_name    check_local_load
