Pending Host Check ... Forever

Try building a check in the checkcommands.cfg file that uses 'check_dummy
0'.  For example:

checkcommands.cfg

...
define command{
    command_name  check_ok
    command_line  $USER1$/check_dummy 0
}
...


hosts.cfg

...
define host{
    use            generic_host
    host_name      test_host
    alias          Generic Test Host
    check_command  check_ok
}
...
