nagios usage/question...

[Jeff Rodriguez]

I think that might be the wrong approach... here's how I would think you 
could setup a remote reboot for a server...

You could use the hostextinfo.cfg and create a link for each server to a 
perl/php page that knows how to talk to your UPS'
When you see the server go down, you can click the link for the extinfo 
page and use it to remotely reboot your server.

If you want human interaction I think that might be the path of least 
resistance, then if you don't have a 24x7 NOC you can setup contacts. 
When a server goes down you'd receive an email, check nagios, and use 
the extinfo page to reboot the box.

The same can be done for services as well.
