How to define remote passive check commands inNagios cfg file.

[Demetri Mouratis]

Yea, service-is-stale is right out of the docs for distributed monitoring.
So I have:

define command{
        command_name    service-is-stale
        command_line    $USER1$/staleservice.sh
        }

#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "CRITICAL: Service results are stale!  Distributed Nagios is
DOWN!"

exit 2
