NRPE Command Status monitoring
This package is designed to run an NRPE command and capture its alarm status using NRPE.
This package can be customized to return the status of any available NRPE check command. The status values OK, WARNING, CRITICAL and UNKNOWN are returned as well as the text.
The NRPE Command Status package will support remote NRPE with or without SSL encryption. At the moment only unencrypted connections are supported.
