Jag,

What do you mean to run check-host-command from command line?

According to checkcommands.cfg

########################################################################
########
#
# SAMPLE HOST CHECK COMMANDS
#
########################################################################
########


# This command checks to see if a host is "alive" by pinging it
# The check must result in a 100% packet loss or 5 second (5000ms) round
trip 
# average time to produce a critical error.
# Note: Only one ICMP echo packet is sent (determined by the '-p 1'
argument)

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 500
0.0,100% -p 1
        }

Command line was used 

$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

Where do I type this commmand? Its obviosly not a shell command

I've found that when it says 'Info: (No output!)', the plugin is usually
outputing something to stderr, and nagios isn't paying attention to
that.  Does anyone know why nagios ignores stderr? stderr is a very
useful debugging tool.

I suggest trying to run your check-host-command plugin from the command
line and seeing what it says.  That may tell you why its returning an
error state.
