Huh? In what way is /bin/touch any different than /bin/echo or any other
executable on the file system? Nagios makes no distinction between them
and simply attempts to run the process. The command definition below is
just as valid as one that sends you an alert email, it just performs a
different task. In this case, the existence of the file
/home/nagios/alerte is sufficient for his purposes.
