External Command File : command.cfg is not referenced in Nagios v3.0.2 ... not for me anyways :)

[Caron, Chris]

Hi guys, I'm new to nagios, and am having problems passing the nagios -v <config> tool.
My configuration files are all in place and being processed properly, except the following line in the main nagios script:

---------
# EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION 
check_external_commands=1 

# EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL 
command_check_interval=-1 

# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE 
command_file=/etc/nagios/cluster_commands.cfg 

# EXTERNAL COMMAND BUFFER SLOTS 
external_command_buffer_slots=4096 
---------

I get the following data back after running the nagios -v command (with some cleanup to ease readability)
[error] The following 5 error(s) occurred: 
Error: Service check command 'check_http' specified in service 'HTTP' for host 'node01.rhc1' not defined anywhere! 
Error: Host check command 'check-host-alive' specified for host 'localhost' is not defined anywhere! 
Error: Host check command 'check-host-alive' specified for host 'node01.rhc1' is not defined anywhere! 
Error: Service notification command 'notify-service-by-email' specified for contact 'nagiosadmin' is not defined anywhere! 
Error: Host notification command 'notify-host-by-email' specified for contact 'nagiosadmin' is not defined anywhere! 
------ 
[warning] The following 1 warning(s) were generated: 
Warning: Host 'localhost' has no services associated with it! 
------ 

Naturally i'm not worried about the warnings... but the errors are all complaining about commands that DO exist in the cluster_command.cfg file (referenced in my main cfg file). 

I have checked the path and permissions numerous times. Is this a common error. (chown nagios:nagios /etc/nagios/cluster_commands.cfg & chmod 644 /etc/nagios/cluster_commands.cfg)

I'm using Nagios 3.0.2 in RHE52. The cluster_command.cfg file is a copy of the /usr/local/share/doc/nagios-plugin's very own command.cfg. The file is un-edited at the moment and has check-host-alive, and notify-host-by-email etc.... their all defined (or so they are in the file anyways).

What am I missing? :(

Chris
