Where can arguments go?

[David Dyer-Bennet]

I'm looking to use a special check command to verify routers are in
operation by checking the main link port of the router (instead of the
default ping).  I'm running into confusion, because I need to specify a
port number in the host definition, and I can't really see how to do it.

I use soemthing like this for a template:

define host {
	name			snmp-switch	; The name of this host template
	use			generic-switch
	#check_command		check-host-alive ; Default command to check if routers
are "alive"
	check_command		check-snmp-switch-alive $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$
	register		0		; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE
}

I'm not sure the args on the check_command line are legal  And I'm not
sure that arguments on a "use snmp-switch" line referencing this could
have arguments on them.

Is this a possible / sane thing to do?  Is this the right way to approach
it, or am I missing a way that actually makes sense?
