Distributing plugins

[Jeffrey Lensen]

We use an SVN repository for our scripts. In addition we have an NRPE
check running on all servers which checks the revision number of the
checkout on that machine by performing a command like "svn info | grep
Revision | awk '{print $2}' ".

If you want to keep the checkout up to date there are a few possibilities:
- create a crontab entry which runs every night and updates the repository
- create a check which compares the output of the above check with the
most recent revision, of which you have a checkout on the Nagios
machine. If it doesn't match, you can return a CRITICAL and create an
event handler which does an "svn update"
- keep them up to date manually

Just my 2 cents :)
