Yeah i knew that (if i understand what your saying ;-) ), nrpe is running on my remote host,, and its checking /usr/sbin/inetd just fine.
OK - 1 processes running with command name /usr/sbin/inetd
but I still get
CRITICAL - 0 processes running with command name /opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw
even though multiple instances are running.

Ah-ha, making sense now. Do you realise plugins are run locally? You need
nrpe or check_by_ssh to run a command on a remote server.
