Using SSH to run remote command checks

[Mark.Law at thomson.com]

I tested the following command from the command line ~

/usr/bin/ssh -l nagios host1 chkAdminServer.pl

and it returns OK with an exit code of 0.  Great.

When I put it into the following service definition, I get a Status
UNKNOWN with STATUS INFORMATION (No Output)

define service{
  name                            check_adminserver
  service_description             AdminServer
  use                             hg.prod.check_5min
  host                            host1,host2
  contact_groups                  systemgrp
  check_command
check_command_ssh!/path/to/perl/script/bin/chkAdminServer.pl!
}

The check command definition is really simple also ~

define command{
  command_name    check_command_ssh
  command_line    /usr/bin/ssh -l nagios $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

I have checked permissions, log files, verified public keys on the
remote server, everything I can think of - but it continues to fail.  In
fact, it appears that the command isn't even attempting to run.   Any
ideas?
