  I have copied&pasted the example that appear on that link. When I 
execute it I get the following error in my nagios log

 Warning: Unrecognized external command -> 
SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;envirosensor;Water Level;3;Ethan;The NOC is 
currently flooding.  Help!

  I'm using Nagios 2.6 over debian. Any idea?

Thank you very much!!
