How to determine if Nagios install is (ePN) embedded Perl Nagios?

[Cook, Garry]

Looks like this option works in Nagios 1.2, but I didn't see it documented anywhere:

/usr/local/nagios/etc: sudo ../bin/nagios -h

Nagios 1.2

Usage: ../bin/nagios [option] <main_config_file>

Options:

  -v   Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic
       verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify your
       config data before (re)starting Nagios.

  -s   Shows projected/recommended service check scheduling information
       based on the current data in the configuration files.

  -c   When used in conjunction with the -s option, this option will cause
       the status data to be updated with scheduling information.  It is
       not recommended that you use this option while Nagios is running, as
       the information in the status log will be temporarily overwritten.
       Provided as an aid to help you understand initial check scheduling.

  -d   Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).
       This is the recommended way of starting Nagios for normal operation.
