The structure of available options is good. The security is *BAD*. MySQL commands for replication should never, never, never be run from unprivileged command line arguments, because access to the Nagios configurations or the output of "ps auxwww" will reveal the name and password of the user with replication privileges.

This commandn would benefit strongly from access to a default configuration file, even a $HOME/.my.cnf for the Nagios user, that would protect access to the replication user account.
