monitor a hostless service

[Marc Powell]

You can also leave out command_line entirely for a host definition.

I define a normal-looking host, with a check_command of
'host_always_up', defined thusly:

define command{
  command_name host_always_up
  command_line /bin/true
}

There are many different approaches to the same idea.  But definitely,
100%, every service needs a host object to associate with.
