One of the services must have had a 'hitch'. Nagios never checks the
status of the host unless a service check fails. When one does, Nagios
will execute the host check_command that you have defined for that
particular host. It would seem that your host check_command for this
host isn't working or isn't valid. Try running it as you have it defined
in [mis]commands.cfg and the host definition as the Nagios user to make
sure that it runs and returns expected output.
