Um, I generally create a new test in checkcommands.cfg.  For
example:

# 'check_mailq' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_mailq
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -l nagios -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C '/home/nagios/check_mailq'
        }

That way, I can just use 'check_mailq' in the service definition.

Keep in mind - check_by_ssh takes more resources to fire off -
SSH is, obviously, cryptographically intensive.  If you're
testing slow boxen, SSH might not be recommended.

Please just reply to the list itself - I don't need multiple
copies.  :)
