I can execute it from a command line and it works fine, when I add it to the cfg file it does not. I get the "Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration." error. Here is the syntax I am using: define service{ use generic-service host_name somehost service_description URL check_command check_url.pl!URL!1 max_check_attempts 5 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 3 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r contact_groups some group } I have defined this info in the command.cfg file, I assume this must be done for all added check commands? Is this true? # 'check_url command' definition define command{ command_name check_url command_line $USER1$/check_url.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ } Through trail and error I have remmed out all lines in the "define service" section 1 at a time and restart the Nagios service and have identified the "service_description" line as being the problem. That seem very strange to me since it appears to only be a name. Never the less, I obviously have some syntax error preventing this from operating properly. Thanks for any assistance!
