The $USER1$ macro typically refers to the location in which the majority of
your plugins are stored (usually this is $Nagios_home/libexec). Rather than
having to type out the full path to your plugin everytime you define a
command, you can use the $USER1$ macro as a shortcut.

If the plugin for the new command you are defining is in the same directory
as the rest of your plugins, the simply maintain your use of $USER1$. If the
plugin resides elsewhere on your filesystem, you will either need to provide
the full path in your command definition, or define a second macro with the
command location and use that.

When defining the service, simply use the name of the command.
