contacts.cfg file errors when running pre-flig ht

Bryant,
A few years ago, I bought a can of refigerated of chocolate chip cookie
dough from the store. I spooned the dough onto a cookie sheet and set it
into the oven. Twenty minutes later I had warm moist melt-in-your-mouth
chocolate chip cookies! There's nothing better than fresh baked cookies!
So one day, some months later, I had friends over and decided to swing by
the store and pick up another batch of cookie dough. I threw them in the
oven and set the timer, 20 minutes. When I opened the oven though, I found
that I had burnt little crisps that barely resembled cookies. It turns out,
they'd changed the recipe (and the cooking time too).
Moral of the story: Make sure you're using the right directions.
You are running Nagios 1.2
The docs showing "contactgroups" as a valid directive are from 2.x
documentation.

Subject: [Nagios-users] contacts.cfg file errors when running pre-flight
Hope someone can help.
I have configured all of my .cfg files correctly from the manual, but for
some reason, when I run nagios -v nagios.cfg I get the following on this
file. Not sure why, have I haven't found anything online or on the nagios
website that refers to this.
Any ideas and or resolutions would be great
Thank you,
Bryant
Nagios 1.2

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation on the main and host config files, as well as
the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
Here is my current contacts.cfg file.
