Hi Joe,

you do not use the parameters of the the check_command line from the
service definition inside the command_line of the check. Just
copy&paste error?

Does the check work when it is executed manually on the shell command
line on the nagios host? Does it work when it is executed as user
"nagios"?

Check commands (for example) are
'/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dhcp -s a.b.c.d' (a.b.c.d is the
IPADDRESS of msdhcp01)
su - nagios -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dhcp -s a.b.c.d"

Following the given definitions, you do not use the parameters
"xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx.xxxx.com -i bond0". Maybe you want to use another
command_line, like "$USER1$/check_dhcp -s $ARG1$"?

And - at least my version - has as argument:
- ---snip---
 -s, --serverip=IPADDRESS
    IP address of DHCP server that we must hear from
- ---pins---

So, instead of using the hostname in your check_command line, you
should use the host's IP address-
