resource.cfg variables in services as arguments

[Jan Scholten]

I don't know if nagios expands the Arguments in the check_command line.

I use $USER3$ in the checkcommands for the read community.

So i don't pass resources Variables in Service statements (since most of 
our read community is the same, if not i would define a new checkcommand.
