Hello,

I have Nagios 3.4.1 and Nagios plugins 1.4.15 installed & running in 
RedHat 5.8

I have defined check_nagios in commands.cfg:
define command{
         command_name    check_nagios
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nagios -F $ARG1$ -e $ARG2$ -C $ARG3$
#       command_line    $USER1$/check_nagios -F 
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e $ARG1$ -C /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

and in localhost.cfg:
define service{
         use                     local-service         ; Name of service 
template to use
         host_name               Nagios
         service_description     Nagios
         check_command           check_nagios
         notifications_enabled 
check_nagios!/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat!5!/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
         }

Nagios Services in Firefox show:

Nagios    Notifications for this service have been disabled
     UNKNOWN     2012-08-31 19:24:35     0d 2h 38m 43s     4/4  Usage:

Explicit check shows:
# ./check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 5 -C 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
NAGIOS OK: 2 processes, status log updated 5 seconds ago

What have I missed ?
