A little success. This time I have no "configuration error"

I have added the following in commands.cfg file

===========================================
define command{
        command_name    check_ssh
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ssh $ARG1$ $HOSTADDRESS$
   }
==========================================

The "define service" entry for SSH  in localhost.cfg is

=========================================
define service{
   use                              local-service     ; Name of service
template to use
   host_name                 localhost
   service_description   SSH
   check_command      check_ssh!-t 5 -p 22
   }
=========================================

And the web interface is  showing SSH OK :-)

I like to monitor remote server also to check the services there.
What should I do to monitor "Remote Linux Server"  ?
Please give me some hints.
many thanks
