Not that I know of. I have gotten around this by writing a "filter"
script that is used as a wrapper for check_nrpe in some cases. The
filter calls check_nrpe with the supplied arguments and (as defined by
a config file) does a regex match to see if it should change the
return code. If so, it returns the new return code (UNKNOWN in your
case). Otherwise, it returns whatever check_nrpe returned.
