Ralph,

yes, I've tried it a few different ways: passing in the hostname on the
service check line was one of them that was since abandoned. The service
check definition is just a vestige of that attempt. Also, if I
understand things correctly, the $HOSTADDRESS$ variable will not resolve
via WINS/NETBIOS. You have to use $HOSTNAME$. It's strange that it works
via the command-line, but not via Nagios execution.

Cheers,

- -=Tom Nail
