Monitoring 64-bit and 32-bit servers - plugin path problem

[Kenneth Holter]

Actually, I've done this already. The macro, say, X defines the path to be
"/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins". But as far as I can see this does not solve my
problem, as the path on a 32-bit systems is different than the path on a
64-bit system.
