Yes. You can run any command as an event handler, including NRPE,
check_by_ssh, or ssh itself. See the Event Handler documentation link
which Marc Powell sent you.

But rather than running check_nrpe directly, you probably want to run a
shell script as your event handler, because you will need to check the
type of event (CRITICAL state, HARD type) before shutting down the
machine:

	#!/bin/sh
	if [ "$1" = "CRITICAL" -a "$2" = "HARD" ]; then
		check_nrpe -H windows.box -c shutdown.command.name
	fi

assuming that you pass $SERVICESTATE$ and $STATETYPE$ as the parameters
to the event handler in your command definition, as shown in the Event
Handlers documentation.

Cheers, Chris.
