Yes, $HOSTADDRESS$ that is used by commands.cfg is defined in the
service definition as 'host_name' 

$ARG1$, $ARG2$, etc are just that - in your definition above, $ARG1$ =
netsl , $ARG2$ = 3,3,2 $ARG3$ = 4,4,3 (and so on)..

(Not sure why you cannot execute it via nagios but can do so by hand -
try running it as the nagios user using "su - nagios -c "command here"

Hth..
