1 - RTFM - Doh! - thanks for the link :-)
2 - check_citrix, all works great from the shell (nice tool!). So it must be
the way I've set up things in Nagios. In the checkcommands.cfg I have set:

# 'check_citrix' command defnition
Define command{
	command_name	check_citrix
	command_line	$USER1$/check_citrix $ARG1$ $ARG2$	(SHOULD THIS
BE IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT?)

And in the hosts.cfg a host definition of voyager-01. In the hostsgroup.cfg
hostgroup_name of citrix-servers with voyager-01 as a member.

In the services.cfg

# Service Definition
define service{
	use 				generic-service	;Name of service
template to use

	host_name			voyager-01
	service_description	Citrix		(DOES THIS NEED TO BE TIED
TO ANOTHER ENTRY?)
	<snip>
	check_command		check_citrix -B=10.10.10.10 -Ppubapp1

Error message from the -v option

Service check command 'check_citrix -B=10.10.10.10 -Ppubapp1' specified in
service 'Citrix' for host voyager-01 not defined anywhere

If I change the check_command in the the services.cfg to the following

	check_command		check_citrix!-B=10.10.10.10!-Ppubapp1

The -v option doesn't detect any errors, BUT, it doesn't appear as a service
for the server...


3 Oracle testing...
Haven't been able to work out how to define an oracle database RE the
host/hostgroup yet...

check_tcp or better: use the check_citrix from the contrib

an output of the error messages would be helpful!
