The command_line is usually setup a little more generically, to allow the same 
command to be run on multiple hosts, and to allow the ranges to be easily changed.
An example from the docs:

define command {
  command_name    check_postgres_size
  command_line    $USER2$/check_postgres.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u pgsql -db postgres --action database_size -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
 }

define service {
  service_description    Postgres database size
  check_command          check_postgres_size!1TB!1.5TB
}
