This looks absolutely right _presuming_ that your nagios installation
was compiled to use the old-style configs. I have to assume that it was
since you state that the plugin is running. I would expect $1 to contain
'-H' and $2 to contain the host address as substituted by Nagios.  Is $1
correct? If not, then there is something else wrong and we don't have
enough information to determine what it is. The '1' and '2' are never
passed to your script. You would need to use $ARG1$ and $ARG2$ as part
of your command definition to pass those.

What version of Nagios are you using?

The FAQ the Subhendu pointed you to was pretty straightforward --

"The official meaning is that N.A.G.I.O.S. is a recursive acronym which
stands for "Nagios Ain't Gonna Insist On Sainthood". It's a spoof on the
software's previous name of "NetSaint", which I decided to abandon after
it caused me much emotional distress. "
