Hosts where frequently turned off

[Chrigi Hartmann]

Hey Tedmann

Sorry for my late reply but I had a servercrash and no time for
nagios...

Thank you for this hint. But it doesn't work here. When I define a host
with the check_command check_dummy!0 and define a command like your
example above nagios would not start. I recieve  errors like:

Error: Host check command 'check_dummy!0' specified for host
'wkst11.lan.webmeischter.ch' is not defined anywhere!


If I define the command:
define command{
         command_name   check_dummy
         command_line   $USER1$/check_dummy 0
         }
 

and the host:
 define host{
        host_name       wkst11.lan.webmeischter.ch
        parents            my.parent.host
        check_command   check_dummy
        }

Then nagios is starting without errors but my wkst11 is down and not up.
Do I have to define the new command check_dummy in the configfile
command.cfg as well? currently it is defined only in checkcommands.cfg.


Thank you for your support and greets
