p.s.  I should have mentioned the check_* binaries and scripts are
known as 'plugins'.  They are developed separately from the core
Nagios system so you must download (and if necessary compile) them
separately.

If you install Nagios from a package, the package maintainer may or
may not have chosen to include the plugins, and may have chosen to put
them in a non-standard directory.

If you do a default install from source tarball of Nagios and the
plugins, you should find the plugins in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

If you are upgrading Nagios, you will normally find that upgrading the
plugins is optional; you should be able to continue to use the plugins
you were using before until such time as you choose to upgrade them
too.

Cheers,

Jim
