Default argument values for nagios check commands

[Bostjan Skufca]

Tricky, interesting idea.

Now, how about doing it for real? This solution isn't really CPU friendly
(process spawning, as you have said). Is the idea of default argument values
OK? Or are there any design decisions involved that I am not aware of (yet)?

Again, many thanks for suggestion!
