Can Nagios implement with Expect to automate tasks when issues arise?

[Patrick M.]

Hi all,

I just learned what Expect was and wrote a few scripts to automate 
certain tasks around the office, and now I'm wondering if Expect can be 
used in conjunction with Nagios.  Is this possible? 

Example: One of our servers go down at least twice a day, and we know 
it's problematic.  We connect to the power strip and recycle the power 
on the port that machine is plugged in.  I'd like to use Expect to 
automate this when Nagios notices it is down.

Has anyone else implemented something similar to what I'm describing?

Thanks in advance.
