SNMP Nagios Plugin

[timeless]

I couldn't find such a thing with preliminary search, so I wrote my own.

First is a generic POSIX command to SNMP translator Perl script. You ask 
it something like "df" or "ps" or "loadavg" and it tells you the 
information from SNMP on the host you're interested in.

The next is a Nagios plugin that depends on the first. Largely it's the 
exact same syntax in usage, but with a "--threshold" argument to decide 
what is WARNING vs. CRITICAL.

The purpose of this was that since our cluster already has SNMP set up, 
we didn't also want to run NRPE, nor set up passwordless SSH from the 
Nagios machine.

Both scripts, with some additional text and editorialising on SNMP are here:

Extra credit to whomever merges the two scripts into one to avoid the 
hassle of having two scripts. They're 80% similar, and one script could 
probably fit inside a subroutine of the other (the Nagios functionality 
probably should be a subroutine inside the unixToSnmp one).
