Message passing between host/service check plugin.

[Peter Krüpl]

Hi again....

With the risk of getting off topic:
I don't want to maintain Cacti too, if i have to check the interface for 
status, i
might as well do the performance stuff too, in the same plugin.

One other post suggested memcache, or database. I will stick with my 
quick&dirty
/tmp files.... ;)
