That means you have an other file in which the command notify-host-by-email
is also defined. grep the command's name to find where. You will probably have
the same problem for the notify-service-by-email.
I had the same problem when I installed NagiosQL and I solved it by setting

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

You owe me a local beer though. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html Object Configuration Directory Format: cfg_dir=directory_name Example:cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts This directive is used to specify a directory which contains object configuration files that Nagios should use for monitoring. All files in the directory with a .cfg extension are processed as object config files. Additionally, Nagios will recursively process all config files in subdirectories of the directory you specify here. You can seperate your configuration files into different directories and specify multiple cfg_dir= statements to have all config files in each directory processed. -- Marc -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
