Why would you use these quotes here to begin with. The while line after
the check_command keyword is considered to be the command to run the check.

I got plenty of those with ackward options without the need for quotes.

So just drop them.

for eaxmple:

define command{
~        command_name    check-host-alive
~        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
~        }

Works like a charm.
