Some systems may have issues with the "\" in a command name. I have seen
it blow things up so there is a point on which care needs to be taken. I
would also recommend against hard coding -w and -c values where at all
possible. It makes using the same command for multiple services with
different needs much more difficult. Also you should always test as the
nagios user and not as root. Testing as root really does nothing other
than show permissions and rights issues if the command fails to work as
the nagios user. The script should be in libexec, owned by the nagios user
and group, and tested as the nagios user. If that doesn't work then test
it as root for the same dir with the same ownership to see if it works at
all.
