Hi,
I am trying to understand the reason for the check_command to be defined
in both "host" and "service" definition.

E.g. If I have a device "test" and I want check its availability using
check_ping, then I will need(?) to define a service "ping" and specify
the check_ping as the check_command. In this case, do I need to define
it in the "host" definition also ?
