check_nrpe event handler early exit

[Aaron K. Moore]

I recently wrote an event handler for some processes that I monitor. I
set the event handler up to run locally on my Nagios sever.  Then I used
ssh to connect to the remote host and execute the restart command using
sudo.  That way I didn't have to worry about NRPE timing out because the
restart command was taking too long to execute.

yes i'm sure. why would I post this if i wasn't? it runs as root via
sudo.

Of course- why would I do otherwise?

Tried that

That's just plain obnoxious.

And neither have you.

>You're welcome.
You've done nothing. If you're going to cop so much attitude you should
at
least make some useful suggestions.
