Nagios Host Check

[Ron Wilson]

OK I accept that but if it is something like an external router or
similar where there is nothing else I need to check or can check, I jus
want to know if it is down, what service can I define so that it keeps
Nagios happy. Can I do a dummy service connectivity check?

You need to define at least one service that is checked per host.
