Creating own check commands

[Ira Harkness]

I am using the check_nwstat program to check for free space on volumes on
the netware server. Each server has different volume names except for one in
common, "sys."

I created the following to check freespace on sys
# 'check_freespace sys' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_freesys
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VKFsys ZERO
}

Works fine and I can use a few define services to get to all the netware
servers to check "sys."

Now I want to check other volumes but I don't want to have to create a
seperate command for each volume. I noticed in some of the other check
commands there is a variable called $ARG1$

Where do I reference this variable. Obviously $HOSTADDRESS$ gets the value
of "host_name" when I set that up in services.cfg. How do I give $ARG1$ a
value when I set up something in services.cfg


Is the following how I would do it? I need to know what else to put in
services.cfg to make it where $ARG1$ can be the volume I want to check. Also
is the format for checkcommands correct?

#services.cfg line#
host_name   box.address.com

#checkcommands.cfg#
$USER1$/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VKF$ARG1$ ZERO

Thank you so much for your help. If you need clarification please feel free
