Nrpe

cd /usr/local/src/nrpe-2.6 ./configure NOTE: on Solaris: ./configure --disable-ssl make all cp src/check_nrpe /apps/nagios2.6/libexec

1. Create a command definition in your Nagios config
2. file for the NRPE client. See the README file for
3. more info on doing this.

NOTE: remote host(s) must be running the NRPE daemon !!!

    - Copy the nrpe daemon to /usr/sbin, /apps/nagios2.6
      or wherever you feel it fits best.
    - Copy the sample nrpe.cfg config file to /etc,
      /www/nagios2.6 or wherever you feel it fits best.
    - Modify the /etc/services file and configure NRPE to
      run under inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon.
      See the README file for more info on doing this.
