-v is just to verify your config files and then exit. To run in daemon
mode you need to use -d or the init script. Running -v to check your
config files is good practice however and will catch configuration
errors like the one below.

The contact_groups directive is no longer supported in a hostgroup
definition.

>From previous posts it appears that you may be upgrading from 1.2 to
2.x. If that is the case there are several other things you'll probably
want to look at detailed in the changelog. Also, 2.0b1 is old. If you're
going to run the beta you should use the latest (2.0b4).
