[users] problems in nagios-plugins package

[Christof Damian]

IRC you can also use a wildcard like "/usr/lib*/nagios/plugins/",
that will be expanded by the shell on the remote system. I use it like
this:

define command {
       command_name    check_remote_load
       command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -t 30 -i
/home/nagios/nagios-ssh-key -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -l nagios -C
"/usr/lib*/na
gios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$"
       }
