REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Mat W]

Perhaps you added another "config" file that has a check_dns command?  

 

I've seen installations where people like to break out the larger config files into a directory with smaller configs.

 

you could do something like... 

 

find /usr/local/nagios/etc |xargs grep -c check_dns

 

which will find all the files with "check_dns" in it (assuming I got the command syntax right).
