Jan,

I understand that I could change my setup to work with one argument as you have listed below. I'm simply stating that all the documentation, both on the nagios.org website, nsclient.org, and the documentation that ships with the various Debian Nagios packages are following a standardized way of doing things. Why don't we change the way the Debian packages are configured to match that standard, documented method. I see two advantages:

1. Doing things in a standardized way makes it easier for people who work in mixed environments, are first time users of Nagios, or those who are recently switching to Debian. 2. Doing things in a standardized way makes it easier for the package maintainers, who don't have to maintain a large set of modifications to the upstream sources that need to be applied every time there is an update to the program.

Alternately, if bringing check_nt into compliance with the documentation isn't a viable option, then we need to file bugs against each of the Debian documentation packages so that they accurately reflect how Debian's Nagios installation runs.

Either way, I appreciate all the hard work you and others have put into maintaining the Debian Nagios packages.

the following works here with the default "check_nt" definition:

"check_nt!'USEDDISKSPACE -l c -w 90 -c 95'"

For your NSClient++ running on Port 12489 the following _should_ work:

"check_nt!'USEDDISKSPACE -l c -w 80 -c 90 -p 1248'"

With kind regards, Jan.
