check_pgsql options?

[Tim O'Hare]

Hi Dan,
If you run
./check_pgsql --help
you can see there are options for host, username, password, etc.
Then in checkcommands.cfg there is:
         command_line    $USER1$/check_pgsql -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -d $ARG1$ 
-l $ARG2$ -w 30 -c 20
And finally in your services.cfg there is:
         check_command    check_pgsql!database_name!login_name
In this case there is an empty password being used.
regards, Tim
