Yes, that's an option, but one you were not using correctly when you  
posted. That's why I explained through example how to create the  
command line that nagios is really running and how to get to where you  
were using the service definition args the way you were expecting. Re- 
read that message.

Looks wrong to me (-p). Should be $ARG3$. Do you understand why?

Of course, it's using the wrong password.

Again, this is not what you've told nagios to run.  Expand the  
command_line as I did in my original e-mail and you'll understand why.

I'm not going to hand it to you any more than I have already; you need  
to figure it out. It's important that you learn this. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html 
  will help.
