It might be on the check_nrpe side - as the default timeout for all
standard plugins is 10 seconds.
command_timeout on the NRPE config side is how long NRPE waits for a
command to execute and return it's output before killing it off.
Try adding "-t 60" to the command_line of your check_nrpe check in Nagios.
