check_http question?

[Thomas Quinlan]

I am running Nagios on Gentoo, and for my check_http,
I get the results like this:

HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.020 second response time 

I use:

check_command check_http!5!10!/pathto/page.do!word

and my command definition looks like:

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http  -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -u $ARG3$ -s $ARG4$
        }

I don't know if it's a function of my command
structure or whether it's Gentoo, but all of the
status information returned by Nagios is "chatty". 
(I'm not complaining, it's a good thing.)
