Daniel,

check_tcp will already do what you want; it looks at how it was called 
and then adjusts the port and expected return string.  To make it work, 
check_tcp should be symlinked to the appropriate command.  In addition 
to accepting arbitrary ports/strings, it can be called as:

    check_imap
    check_simap
    check_pop
    check_spop
    check_smtp
    check_ftp
    check_nntp
    check_udp

...and will do the Right Thing with regard to your command.

I'd be surprised (and perhaps suspect) if these links weren't already 
created as part of whatever package/build you're using....
