Oh dear, that's a lot of question marks ;-)

To enable command-line arguments in nrpe, you need to compile nrpe with 
support for it (./configure --enable-command-arguments or something like 
that), and also enable it in the configuration file 
(enable_command_arguments=1 or some such).

Check the readme. It has all the info you need.
