FW: "Host -- solved

[Daniel.Mesimer at med.va.gov]

All/James/Marc,

I compiled the software myself...no packages.

I had been overlooking those command definitions in the command.cfg file.
The commands were using printf with a pipe to mail.
The problem was what James said.  I removed almost all of the escaped quotes
and it seems to behave appropriately now.

Thanks for all of your help!

If he's using the dag rpm builds etc may be elsewhere (like /etc/nagios)..
