command_name is what you call from a service definition (this is all
well documented in Nagios...) - and you should remove the <<>> from
it... If you complete the missing parameters in command_line you should
be able to run the command from the shell. Once you get the command to
run fine from there, copy it to your command_line parameter with all
variable options replaced with macros (Macros are also very well
documented in Nagios).

- From your previous email you it seems that you use check_nt, which is
the deprecated NSClient protocol. To use check_nrpe you have to
configure the proper module in NSClient++. Also once you have that
working you could move the check_nt checks to check_nrpe if you wish to
use a single protocol for checking your hosts.
