Problems with check_alive

[Jerry Norton]

I'm not sure if you cut and pasted the commands in or typed them in this
message but your "hostaddress" variable isn't enclosed in '$' (it's
missing the closing).  Also you have '$HOSTADRESS' misspelled.  Address
has 2 d's.  It should read like this:

$HOSTADDRESS$

As suggested, try running the command (./check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w
3000,80% -c 5000,100%) at the command prompt to see if it works there.

I cant find any called command.cfg but one called checkcommands.cfg
I cant really find any pointer to what command nagios really does, but
here is what I found in checkcommands.cfg
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name   check-host-alive
command_line   $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADRESS -w 3000. 0, 80% -c
5000. 0, 100% -p 1
}
So I am not sure where I can find the command that nagios really is
running.
I should mention that I havent installed any plugins or add-on's yet,
this is right from distributed .tar.gz
Maybe I am missing something ?

The check_ping definition in checkcommands.cfg looks like this:
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_name   check_ping
command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADRESS -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p
5
 
Mvh
