Sorry its me again. I dont think i can put the event-handler script on my 
monitoring server because it is supposed to run the script on my remote 
server. It is returning a code 127 saying that it cant find the script on my 
monitoring server, but it is not suppose to be there as the program to kill 
off exists on the remote server. Heres a snippet of my 'Load' service 
definition:

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             ocsp-service                           	
host_name                      host-abc
        service_description             Load
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        event_handler                   restart_program
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admin
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check-load-runaway
        }
 
If i will to put a "check_nrpe!restart_program" to point to the remote server 
/libexec/event-handlers directory.. it will return a config error on my 
monitoring server that the "check_nrpe!restart_program" is not defined 
anywhere! But, I am only suppose to define the 'check_nrpe' command.. the 
rest of my nrpe services are working. So, I cant do that either. 

Is there another way of getting the monitoring server to point to the remote 
server and run my script on the remote server?
