Jari,

This is more of a Nagios issue rather than a plugin issue. The  
check_command check_http refers to a command in the checkcommands.cfg  
file. In there will be definition of check_http to say what it should  
do with the arguments (separated by ! in the check_command parameter).

See here for more information: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/ 
xodtemplate.html#command

Don't worry - it is a common newbie trip up!
