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..
