Problem with check_procs

Hi,

You should read up on either NRPE, NCSA or one of the check_ssh plugins 
to do what you want.

All standard plugins execute directly on the Nagios box.  The above 
solutions allow for plugins to be executed on a remote box and send the 
result back to Nagios.

NRPE is when Nagios requests the plugin to be executed (active check) 
whereas NCSA is when the NCSA daemon on the remote box does the checks 
(passive check.)

See http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/Howtos:nrpe_nsca for 
more info.
