Hi all! I'm triying to use this plugin for checking a remote Sybase 
database. The thing is that in the usage of the script
i dont see any option that indicates the IP address of the server. Here 
is the -h for the plugin:

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -U, --user            Username to connect to database.
  -P, --pass            Password to connect to database.
  -S, --dbsvr           Database server (as in the interfaces file).
  -D, --dbname          Database name to check.
  --config=FILE         Config file (see SECURITY below)
  --checktype=TYPE      Type of check to run (see TYPEs below)
  --charset=CHARSET     Character set of server (default iso_1).
  --explain             Explains how we calculated the free space.
  --fallback            Fallback to a CONNECT check if a non-CONNECT check
                        takes too long.
  --no-mixed-devices-warning    Suppress the warning about mixed data/log
                                devices.
  -w, --warning         Warning threshold (default 25).
  -c, --critical        Critical threshold (default 10).
  -t, --timeout         Timeout value, in seconds (default 30).
  -h, --help            This help message
  -V, --version         Version information (1.0)

Examples:
        check_sybase -U sa -P secret -S bigbox -D orders
        check_sybase --config=/secure/nagios-sybase.cfg --checktype=CONNECT

TYPEs
 There are three types of checks you can run:
 --checktype=CONNECT
    Checks just the connection to the database.
 --checktype=FREESPACE
    (Default) Checks both the connection to the database and the free space.
    With this check type, both warning and critical thresholds are in 
percent.
    Warning defaults to 25% free space, critical defaults to 10% free space.
 --checktype=NUMLOGINS
    Checks the number of logins connected to the database server.
    With this check type, the warning and critical thresholds are integers.

SECURITY - Using a config file
 Since a "ps ax" will reveal your database username and password, you can
 instead specify them in a config file. Pass the config file with --config.
 The format of the file is:
   USER     value
   PASS     value
 You can also specify a DBSVR and DBNAME in the file. Comments (#) and blank
 lines are ignored. Use whitespace to separate argument and value. The file
 should be readable by as few people as possible.
