I want to make sure that server does not accept any requests via http how do you change the $arg1$ to make it check that a status is not accepting those connections and to notify if it does begin to?

Take a look at our negate plugin documentation. Just run a standard check_http -H [host\IP] and use negate prior to that. Any warning or critical state will show as OK and OK from check_http will show as critical. I believe this is what you are looking for.
