Nagios and Web Interface

[ericblumenau at techtvcorp.com]

Good morning Mr. Ghosh,
Thanks for the quick reply.  I pulled that 's' from the documentation:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#command_check_interval
I have the default interval_length of 60 seconds and I wanted to
check for external commands more frequently than that.  Thus the "20s"
entry.  I will try it with an integer and see if that works.
