OK, here are my 2 command defs:

command_line    /usr/share/nagios/sbin/submit_service_check_result
$HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'

and

/usr/share/nagios/sbin/submit_host_check_result $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATEID$
'$HOSTOUTPUT$'

Do these look correct?

And do the *STATEID's need translating to an integer before I pass them to
send_nsca? I found an example in the web, that used a case statement to do
thism but I do not know if it is needed or not.

Thanks for the help/
