The arguments you put in the service definition between bangs (!) are
not sent directly to the plugin. They are rather being expanded to
$ARGn$ macros (starting at $ARG1$) in the command definition. The
command definition can have use other macros instead of passing
arguments, like $HOSTADDRESS$ for network-based checks.

Example (from Nagios doc) of a command that will require no argument
from the service definition:

define command{
  command_name  check_pop
  command_line  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_pop -H $HOSTADDRESS$	
  }

Here's a list of macros for Nagios 2 (a similar list exists for Nagios 3
if you use it):
