Hi,

I'm checking the LOADs with check_by_ssh like this.

# 'check_by_ssh_load' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check_by_ssh_load
         command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -2 -H $ARG1$ -l "nagios" 
-C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG2
$ -c $ARG3$"
         }

Works fine for me ;-)

Richard
